Danger Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABDDDDEFEF| With what a childish and short sighted sense | A |
| Fear seeks for safety recons up the days | B |
| Of danger and escape the hours and ways | B |
| Of death it breathless flies the pestilence | C |
| It walls itself in towers of defence | A |
| By land by sea against the storm it lays | B |
| Down barriers then comforted it says | D |
| This spot this hour is safe Oh vain pretence | D |
| Man born of man knows nothing when he goes | D |
| The winds blow where they list and will disclose | D |
| To no man which brings safety which brings risk | E |
| The mighty are brought low by many a thing | F |
| Too small to name Beneath the daisy's disk | E |
| Lies hid the pebble for the fatal sling | F |
