Justification Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHH IJGG| From far off it came near | A |
| Deep charactered and clear | A |
| Until I saw the features close to mine | B |
| And the eyes unhappy shine | B |
| - | |
| It was Sorrow's face | C |
| Wanting kindness and grace | C |
| And wanting strength of silence and the power | D |
| To abide a luckier hour | D |
| - | |
| The first fear turned to hating | E |
| As I saw him dumbly waiting | E |
| For it was my true likeness that he wore | F |
| And would wear evermore | F |
| - | |
| My face that was to be | G |
| When his years' misery | G |
| With here a little and there a little had made | H |
| My strong spirit afraid | H |
| - | |
| I saw his face and hated | I |
| Seeing mine so sad fated | J |
| And then I struck and killed him knowing that he | G |
| Had else slain me | G |
