Acceptance Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC AAAADD EFEFCC| Yea she hath looked Truth grimly face to face | A |
| And drained unto the lees the proffered cup | B |
| This silence is not patience nor the grace | A |
| Of recognition meekly offered up | B |
| But mere acceptance fraught with keenest pain | C |
| Seeing that all her struggles must be vain | C |
| - | |
| Her future clear and terrible outlies | A |
| This burden to be borne through all her days | A |
| This crown of thorns pressed down above her eyes | A |
| This weight of trouble she may never raise | A |
| No reconcilement doth she ask nor wait | D |
| Knowing such things are she endures her fate | D |
| - | |
| No brave endeavor of the broken will | E |
| To cling to such poor stays as will abide | F |
| Although the waves be wild and angry still | E |
| After the lapsing of the swollen tide | F |
| No fear of further loss no hope of gain | C |
| Naught but the apathy of weary pain | C |
