Sensitiveness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDCECEFGFH| Time was I shrank from what was right | A |

| Because the foe was strong | B |
| But now I cast that finer sense | C |
| And sorer shame aside | D |

| I know them yet though self I dread | F |
| I love his precept more | H |
