Strike Stone On Steel Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FGFG HIHI

Strike stone on steelA
Fire repliesB
Strike men that feelA
The answer is in their eyesB
-
Powers that are willed to breakC
The spirit in limbs of painD
See what spirit you wakeC
Strike and strike againE
-
You hammer sparks to a flameF
And the flame scorches your handG
You have given the feeble an aimF
You have made the sick to standG
-
You shape by stroke on strokeH
Man mightier than he knewI
And the fire your hammer wokeH
Is a life that is death to youI
