Achievement Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBBBB CBCBDDD BEBEFFFE BGBGBBBG| He held himself splendidly forward | A |
| Both early and late | B |
| The aim of his purpose was starward | B |
| To master his fate | B |
| So he wrought and he toiled and he waited | B |
| Till he rose o'er the hordes that he hated | B |
| And stood on the heights as was fated | B |
| Made one of the great | B |
| - | |
| Then lo on the top of the mountain | C |
| With walls that were wide | B |
| A city from which as a fountain | C |
| Rose voices that cried | B |
| 'He comes Let us forth now to meet him | D |
| Both mummer and priest let us greet him | D |
| In the city he built let us seat him | D |
| On the throne of his pride ' | - |
| - | |
| Then out of the city he builded | B |
| Of shadows it seems | E |
| From gates that his fancy had gilded | B |
| With thought's brightest gleams | E |
| Strange mimes and chimeras came trooping | F |
| With moping and mowing and stooping | F |
| And he saw with a heart that was drooping | F |
| That these were his dreams | E |
| - | |
| He entered and lo as he entered | B |
| They murmured his name | G |
| And led him where burningly centred | B |
| An altar of flame | G |
| Made lurid a temple erected | B |
| Of self where a form he detected | B |
| The love that his life had rejected | B |
| And this was his fame | G |
