Thy Brother's Blood Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBBBBCDCDEF| I have no Brother they who meet me now | A |
| Offer a hand with their own wills defiled | B |
| And while they wear a smooth unwrinkled brow | A |
| Know not that Truth can never be beguiled | B |
| Go wash the hand that still betrays thy guilt | B |
| Before the spirit's gaze what stain can hide | B |
| Abel's red blood upon the earth is spilt | B |
| And by thy tongue it cannot be denied | B |
| I hear not with the ear the heart doth tell | C |
| Its secret deeds to me untold before | D |
| Go all its hidden plunder quickly sell | C |
| Then shalt thou cleanse thee from thy brother's gore | D |
| Then will I take thy gift that bloody stain | E |
| Shall not be seen upon thy hand again | F |
