Prospice Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGHGHIJIJ KLKLMNON| Fear death to feel the fog in my throat | A |
| The mist in my face | B |
| When the snows begin and the blasts denote | A |
| I am nearing the place | B |
| The power of the night the press of the storm | C |
| The post of the foe | D |
| Where he stands the Arch Fear in a visible form | C |
| Yet the strong man must go | D |
| For the journey is done and the summit attained | E |
| And the barriers fall | F |
| Though a battle's to fight ere the guerdon be gained | E |
| The reward of it all | F |
| I was ever a fighter so one fight more | G |
| The best and the last | H |
| I would hate that death bandaged my eyes and forbore | G |
| And bade me creep past | H |
| No let me taste the whole of it fare like my peers | I |
| The heroes of old | J |
| Bear the brunt in a minute pay glad life's arrears | I |
| Of pain darkness and cold | J |
| For sudden the worst turns the best to the brave | K |
| The black minute's at end | L |
| And the elements' rage the fiend voices that rave | K |
| Shall dwindle shall blend | L |
| Shall change shall become first a peace out of pain | M |
| Then a light then thy breast | N |
| O thou soul of my soul I shall clasp thee again | O |
| And with God be the rest | N |
