As In The Midst Of Battle There Is Room Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCDEE| As in the midst of battle there is room | A |
| For thoughts of love and in foul sin for mirth | B |
| As gossips whisper of a trinket's worth | B |
| Spied by the death bed's flickering candle gloom | A |
| As in the crevices of C sar's tomb | A |
| The sweet herbs flourish on a little earth | B |
| So in this great disaster of our birth | B |
| We can be happy and forget our doom | A |
| - | |
| For morning with a ray of tenderest joy | C |
| Gilding the iron heaven hides the truth | D |
| And evening gently woos us to employ | C |
| Our grief in idle catches Such is youth | D |
| Till from that summer's trance we wake to find | E |
| Despair before us vanity behind | E |
George Santayana
