The Two Guides Of Life - The Sublime And The Beautiful Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABBAACC| Two genii are there from thy birth through weary life to guide thee | A |
| Ah happy when united both they stand to aid beside thee | A |
| With gleesome play to cheer the path the one comes blithe with beauty | A |
| And lighter leaning on her arm the destiny and duty | A |
| With jest and sweet discourse she goes unto the rock sublime | B |
| Where halts above the eternal sea the shuddering child of time | B |
| The other here resolved and mute and solemn claspeth thee | A |
| And bears thee in her giant arms across the fearful sea | A |
| Never admit the one alone Give not the gentle guide | C |
| Thy honor nor unto the stern thy happiness confide | C |
Friedrich Schiller
