To My Enemy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDBD EFGF HIJI KBLB| Let those who will of friendship sing | A |
| And to its guerdon grateful be | B |
| But I a lyric garland bring | A |
| To crown thee O mine enemy | B |
| - | |
| Thanks endless thanks to thee I owe | C |
| For that my lifelong journey through | D |
| Thine honest hate has done for me | B |
| What love perchance had failed to do | D |
| - | |
| I had not scaled such weary heights | E |
| But that I held thy scorn in fear | F |
| And never keenest lure might match | G |
| The subtle goading of thy sneer | F |
| - | |
| Thine anger struck from me a fire | H |
| That purged all dull content away | I |
| Our mortal strife to me has been | J |
| Unflagging spur from day to day | I |
| - | |
| And thus while all the world may laud | K |
| The gifts of love and loyalty | B |
| I lay my meed of gratitude | L |
| Before thy feet mine enemy | B |
