The Peacemaker Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDACDA| To the world wanderer Samarkand is near | A |
| The broad Pacific but a narrow strait | B |
| To him old China at the Asian gate | B |
| A neighbor is an elder brother dear | A |
| Toward savage coasts he dares his bark to steer | A |
| Bidding the tempest bear him on in state | B |
| He knocks at tombs where kings their summons wait | B |
| And meets the gods of eld in deserts drear | A |
| So to the traveller who has long explored | C |
| Tropics of sickness rocky wastes of pain | D |
| Or arctic solitudes of icy sorrow | A |
| To him is death no foe remote abhorred | C |
| But a wise friend a peacemaker who fain | D |
| Would marry loud today with shy tomorrow | A |
