My Friend Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBCDBBDEE| When first I looked upon the face of Pain | A |
| I shrank repelled as one shrinks from a foe | B |
| Who stands with dagger poised as for a blow | B |
| I was in search of Pleasure and of Gain | A |
| I turned aside to let him pass in vain | A |
| He looked straight in my eyes and would not go | B |
| 'Shake hands ' he said 'our paths are one and so | B |
| We must be comrades on the way 'tis plain ' | C |
| I felt the firm clasp of his hand on mine | D |
| Through all my veins it sent a strengthening glow | B |
| I straightway linked my arm in his and lo | B |
| He led me forth to joys almost divine | D |
| With God's great truths enriched me in the end | E |
| And now I hold him as my dearest friend | E |
