Spirit Fear. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGACA| I look with half unfriendly eyes | A |
| Into the casual eyes I meet | B |
| As if my spirit feared surprise | A |
| Dim memoried with some old defeat | B |
| In a far life it may be when | C |
| It breathed in a monastic cell | D |
| And found a fallacy in men | C |
| More sad than any tongue can tell | D |
| Or flashing in a warrior's fame | E |
| A sword for friendship fiercely drew | F |
| But turned to dust an honored name | E |
| And made life's mead a bitter brew | F |
| And still like an ancestral stain | G |
| The memory on the spirit lies | A |
| And still it fears to meet again | C |
| The light of those accusing eyes | A |
