The Promise Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAB CDCD AEAF AA| What wonder of what hope do you enfold | A |
| Whose eyes are all filled with futurity | A |
| What shape of more than beauty would you mould | A |
| With desire's strength out of the dim to be | B |
| - | |
| Your bosom is the haunt of holy fears | C |
| Shadows are all about you whispering | D |
| Deep words and glorious names from the full years | C |
| But like the stars in heaven your pulses sing | D |
| - | |
| Of a voice sweeter than all tones yet heard | A |
| Of a heart richer than the summer's store | E |
| Of earth awakened from old bonds and spurred | A |
| To run a new race for her conqueror | F |
| - | |
| You wait with thoughts all glowing like the Night | A |
| And in you buds the flower the marvel Light | A |
