The Hour Of The Angel Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDE FFGHFGE| Sooner or late in earnest or in jest | A |
| But the stakes are no jest Ithuriel's Hour | B |
| Will spring on us for the first time the test | A |
| Of our sole unbacked competence and power | B |
| Up to the limit of our years and dower | C |
| Of judgment or beyond But here we have | D |
| Prepared long since our garland or our grave | E |
| - | |
| For at that hour the sum of all our past | F |
| Act habit thought and passion shall be cast | F |
| In one addition be it more or less | G |
| And as that reading runs so shall we do | H |
| Meeting astounded victory at the last | F |
| Or first and last our own unworthiness | G |
| And none can change us though they die to save | E |
