The Anvil Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF| Burned from the ore's rejected dross | A |
| The iron whitens in the heat | B |
| With plangent strokes of pain and loss | A |
| The hammers on the iron beat | B |
| Searched by the fire through death and dole | C |
| We feel the iron in our soul | C |
| - | |
| O dreadful Forge if torn and bruised | D |
| The heart more urgent comes our cry | E |
| Not to be spared but to be used | D |
| Brain sinew and spirit before we die | E |
| Beat out the iron edge it keen | F |
| And shape us to the end we mean | F |
