Evil Influence Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDEDC| 'Tis not the violent hands alone that bring | A |
| The curse the ravage and the downward doom | B |
| Although to these full oft the yawning tomb | B |
| Owes deadly surfeit but a keener sting | A |
| A more immortal agony will cling | A |
| To the half fashioned sin which would assume | B |
| Fair Virtue's garb the eye that sows the gloom | B |
| With quiet seeds of Death henceforth to spring | A |
| What time the sun of passion burning fierce | C |
| Breaks through the kindly cloud of circumstance | D |
| The bitter word and the unkindly glance | D |
| The crust and canker coming with the years | E |
| Are liker Death than arrows and the lance | D |
| Which through the living heart at once doth pierce | C |
