Hope Is Not For The Wise Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGHGIJ| Hope is not for the wise fear is for fools | A |
| Change and the world we think are racing to a fall | B |
| Open eyed and helpless in every newscast that is the news | C |
| The time's events would seem mere chaos but all | B |
| Drift the one deadly direction But this is only | D |
| The August thunder of the age not the November | E |
| Wise men hope nothing the wise are naturally lonely | D |
| And think November as good as April the wise remember | E |
| That Caesar and even final Augustulus had heirs | F |
| And men lived on rich unplanned life on earth | G |
| After the foreign wars and the civil wars the border wars | H |
| And the barbarians music and religion honor and mirth | G |
| Renewed life's lost enchantments But if life even | I |
| Had perished utterly Oh perfect loveliness of earth and heaven | J |
