Steadfast Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCCDC| Here stands a giant stone from whose far top | A |
| Comes down the sounding water let me gaze | B |
| Till every sense of man and human ways | B |
| Is wrecked and quenched for ever and I drop | A |
| Into the whirl of time and without stop | A |
| Pass downward thus Again my eyes I raise | B |
| To thee dark rock and through the mist and haze | B |
| My strength returns when I behold thy prop | A |
| Gleam stern and steady through the wavering wrack | C |
| Surely thy strength is human and like me | D |
| Thou bearest loads of thunder on thy back | C |
| And lo a smile upon thy visage black | C |
| A breezy tuft of grass which I can see | D |
| Waving serenely from a sunlit crack | C |
