Magnets Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDAEEFFGGHHIIII| A far look in absorbed eyes unaware | A |
| Of what some gazer thrills to gather there | A |
| A happy voice singing to itself apart | B |
| That pulses new blood through a listener's heart | B |
| Old fortitude and 'mid an hour of dread | C |
| The scorn of all odds in a proud young head | C |
| These are themselves and being but what they are | D |
| Of others' praise or pity have no care | A |
| Yet still are magnets to another's need | E |
| Invisibly as wind blowing stray seed | E |
| Life breathes on life though ignorant what it brings | F |
| And spirit touches spirit on the strings | F |
| Where music is courage from courage glows | G |
| In secret shy powers to themselves unclose | G |
| And the most solitary hope that gray | H |
| Patience has sister'd ripens far away | H |
| In young bosoms Oh we have failed and failed | I |
| And never knew if we or the world ailed | I |
| Clouded and thwarted yet perhaps the best | I |
| Of all we do and dream of lives unguessed | I |
