Equality Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFGFHH| I saw a King who spent his life to weave | A |
| Into a nation all his great heart thought | B |
| Unsatisfied until he should achieve | A |
| The grand ideal that his manhood sought | B |
| Yet as he saw the end within his reach | C |
| Death took the sceptre from his failing hand | D |
| And all men said He gave his life to teach | C |
| The task of honour to a sordid land | D |
| Within his gates I saw through all those years | E |
| One at his humble toil with cheery face | F |
| Whom being dead the children half in tears | G |
| Remembered oft and missed him from his place | F |
| If he be greater that his people blessed | H |
| Than he the children loved God knoweth best | H |
