George Crabbe Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDCCD| Give him the darkest inch your shelf allows | A |
| Hide him in lonely garrets if you will | B |
| But his hard human pulse is throbbing still | B |
| With the sure strength that fearless truth endows | A |
| In spite of all fine science disavows | A |
| Of his plain excellence and stubborn skill | B |
| There yet remains what fashion cannot kill | B |
| Though years have thinned the laurel from his brows | A |
| - | |
| Whether or not we read him we can feel | C |
| From time to time the vigor of his name | D |
| Against us like a finger for the shame | D |
| And emptiness of what our souls reveal | C |
| In books that are as altars where we kneel | C |
| To consecrate the flicker not the flame | D |
