The Poets Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| O ye dead Poets who are living still | A |
| Immortal in your verse though life be fled | B |
| And ye O living Poets who are dead | B |
| Though ye are living if neglect can kill | A |
| Tell me if in the darkest hours of ill | A |
| With drops of anguish falling fast and red | B |
| From the sharp crown of thorns upon your head | B |
| Ye were not glad your errand to fulfill | A |
| Yes for the gift and ministry of Song | C |
| Have something in them so divinely sweet | D |
| It can assuage the bitterness of wrong | C |
| Not in the clamour of the crowded street | D |
| Not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng | C |
| But in ourselves are triumph and defeat | D |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
