The Sword Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEFGHG| Amidst applauding cheers I won a prize | A |
| A cynic watched me with ironic eyes | A |
| An open foe in open hatred sneered | B |
| I cared for neither Then my friend appeared | B |
| Eager I listened for his glad 'Well done ' | C |
| But sudden shadow seemed to shroud my sun | D |
| He praised me yet each slow unwilling word | E |
| Forced from its sheath base Envy's hidden sword | F |
| Two edged it wounded me but worst of all | G |
| It thrust my friend down from his pedestal | H |
| And showed him as he was so small so small | G |
