Promise Of Peace Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGFBHBBIJ| The heads of strong old age are beautiful | A |
| Beyond all grace of youth They have strange quiet | B |
| Integrity health soundness to the full | C |
| They've dealt with life and been tempered by it | D |
| A young man must not sleep his years are war | E |
| Civil and foreign but the former's worse | F |
| But the old can breathe in safety now that they are | G |
| Forgetting what youth meant the being perverse | F |
| Running the fool's gauntlet and being cut | B |

| How shall the dead taste the deep treasure they have | J |
