Fear Not, Dear Friend, But Freely Live Your Days Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCBDEFDFE

FEAR not dear friend but freely live your daysA
Though lesser lives should suffer Such am IB
A lesser life that what is his of skyB
Gladly would give for you and what of praiseA
Step without trouble down the sunlit waysA
We that have touched your raiment are made wholeC
From all the selfish cankers of man's soulC
And we would see you happy dear or dieB
Therefore be brave and therefore dear be freeD
Try all things resolutely till the bestE
Out of all lesser betters you shall findF
And we who have learned greatness from you weD
Your lovers with a still contented mindF
See you well anchored in some port of restE
