Three Counsellors Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDE FBFB GHG IJI| It was the fairy of the place | A |
| Moving within a little light | B |
| Who touched with dim and shadowy grace | A |
| The conflict at its fever height | B |
| - | |
| It seemed to whisper 'Quietness ' | - |
| Then quietly itself was gone | C |
| Yet echoes of its mute caress | D |
| Were with me as the years went on | E |
| - | |
| It was the warrior within | F |
| Who called 'Awake prepare for fight | B |
| Yet lose not memory in the din | F |
| Make of thy gentleness thy might | B |
| - | |
| 'Make of thy silence words to shake | G |
| The long enthroned kings of earth | H |
| Make of thy will the force to break | G |
| Their towers of wantonness and mirth ' | - |
| - | |
| It was the wise all seeing soul | I |
| Who counselled neither war nor peace | J |
| 'Only be thou thyself that goal | I |
| In which the wars of time shall cease ' | - |
George William Russell
