Inferential Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEFFEAlthough I saw before me there the face | A |
Of one whom I had honored among men | B |
The least and on regarding him again | B |
Would not have had him in another place | A |
He fitted with an unfamiliar grace | A |
The coffin where I could not see him then | B |
As I had seen him and appraised him when | B |
I deemed him unessential to the race | A |
- | |
For there was more of him than what I saw | C |
And there was on me more than the old awe | D |
That is the common genius of the dead | E |
I might as well have heard him Never mind | F |
If some of us were not so far behind | F |
The rest of us were not so far ahead | E |
