Light And Warmth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHIIIn cheerful faith that fears no ill | A |
The good man doth the world begin | B |
And dreams that all without shall still | A |
Reflect the trusting soul within | B |
Warm with the noble vows of youth | C |
Hallowing his true arm to the truth | C |
- | |
Yet is the littleness of all | D |
So soon to sad experience shown | E |
That crowds but teach him to recall | D |
And centre thought on self alone | E |
Till love no more emotion knows | F |
And the heart freezes to repose | F |
- | |
Alas though truth may light bestow | G |
Not always warmth the beams impart | H |
Blest he who gains the boon to know | G |
Nor buys the knowledge with the heart | H |
For warmth and light a blessing both to be | I |
Feel as the enthusiast as the world wise see | I |
