The Jew Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHH| Thou art more deadly than the Jew of old | A |
| Thou hast his weapons hidden in thy speech | B |
| And though thy hand from me thou dost withhold | A |
| They pierce where sword and spear could never reach | B |
| Thou hast me fenced about with thorny talk | C |
| To pierce my soul with anguish while I hear | D |
| And while amid thy populous streets I walk | C |
| I feel at every step the entering spear | E |
| Go cleanse thy lying mouth of all its guile | F |
| That from the will within thee ever flows | G |
| Go cleanse the temple thou dost now defile | F |
| Then shall I cease to feel thy heavy blows | G |
| And come and tread with me the path of peace | H |
| And from thy brother's harm forever cease | H |
