The Poet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHCH IJCJ| There was strength in him and the weak won freely from it | A |

| Men read clear by its light and learned to scorn a lie | B |

| His were songs so full of a wholesome laughter | D |
| Those whose courage was ashen found it once more aflame | E |
| His was a child like faith and wandering feet were guided | F |
| His was a hope so joyous despair was put to shame | E |
| - | |
| His was the delicate insight and his the poignant vision | G |
| Whereby the world might learn what wine lipped roses know | H |
| What a drift of rain might lisp on a gray sea dawning | C |
| Or a pale spring of the woodland babble low | H |
| - | |
| He builded a castle of dream and a palace of rainbow fancy | I |
| And the starved souls of his fellows lived in them and grew glad | J |
| And yet there were those who mocked the gifts of his generous giving | C |
| And some but he smiled and forgave them who deemed him wholly mad | J |
