A New Idol Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECFE

Magnificent the Beast Look in the eyesA
Of the fell tiger towering on his preyB
Beautiful in his power to pounce and slayB
And effortless in action He deniesA
All but himself He gloats on his weak prizeA
Roaring the anger of wild breath at bayB
Blank anger like an element whose wayB
Is mere annihilation Terrible eyesA
-
But there is one more to be feared who canC
Escape the prison of his own wrath whose willD
Lives beyond life who smiles with quiet lipsE
Most terrible because most tender ManC
Not only uncowed but irresistibleF
When the cause fires him to the finger tipsE
