The Ideal Of Woman. To Amanda Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFFGHIFFWoman in everything yields to man but in that which is highest | A |
Even the manliest man yields to the woman most weak | B |
But that highest what is it The gentle radiance of triumph | C |
As in thy brow upon me beauteous Amanda it beams | D |
When o'er the bright shining disk the clouds of affliction are fleeting | E |
Fairer the image appears seen through the vapor of gold | F |
Man may think himself free thou art so for thou never knowest | F |
What is the meaning of choice know'st not necessity's name | G |
That which thou givest thou always givest wholly but one art thou ever | H |
Even thy tenderest sound is thine harmonious self | I |
Youth everlasting dwells here with fulness that never is exhausted | F |
And with the flower at once pluckest thou the ripe golden fruit | F |
Friedrich Schiller
