Henry Howard Brownell Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| They never crowned him never dreamed his worth | A |
| And let him go unlaurelled to the grave | B |
| Hereafter there are guerdons for the brave | B |
| Roses for martyrs who wear thorns on earth | A |
| Balms for bruised hearts that languish in the dearth | A |
| Of human love So let the grasses wave | B |
| Above him nameless Little did he crave | B |
| Men's praises modestly with kindly mirth | A |
| Not sad nor bitter he accepted fate | C |
| Drank deep of life knew books and hearts of men | D |
| Cities and camps and war's immortal woe | E |
| Yet bore through all such virtue in him sate | C |
| His spirit is not whiter now than then | D |
| A simple loyal nature pure as snow | E |
