Three Steps Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDAEAEFGFG| THREE steps there are our human life must climb | A |
| The first is Force | B |
| The savage struggled to it from the slime | A |
| And still it is our last ashamed recourse | B |
| Above that jagged stretch of red veined stone | C |
| Is marble Law | D |
| Carven with long endeavor monotone | C |
| Of patient hammers not yet free from flaw | D |
| Three steps there are our human life must climb | A |
| The last is Love | E |
| Wrought from such starry element sublime | A |
| As touches the White Rose and Mystic Dove | E |
| Poor world that stumbles up with many a trip | F |
| A child that clings | G |
| To the great Hand whose lifting guardianship | F |
| Quickens in wayward feet the dream of wings | G |
