Immortality Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CAD CAD

Foil'd by our fellow men depress'd outwornA
We leave the brutal world to take its wayB
And Patience in another life we sayB
The world shall be thrust down and we up borneA
-
And will not then the immortal armies scornA
The world's poor routed leavings or will theyB
Who fail'd under the heat of this life's dayB
Support the fervours of the heavenly mornA
-
No no the energy of life may beC
Kept on after the grave but not begunA
And he who flagg'd not in the earthly strifeD
-
From strength to strength advancing only heC
His soul well knit and all his battles wonA
Mounts and that hardly to eternal lifeD

Matthew Arnold
