To Hope Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEGG| How droops the wretch whom adverse fates pursue | A |
| While sad experience from his aching sight | B |
| Sweeps the fair prospects of unproved delight | B |
| Which flattering friends and flattering fancies drew | A |
| When want assails his solitary shed | C |
| When dire distraction's horrent eye ball glares | D |
| Seen 'midst the myriad of tumultuous cares | D |
| That shower their shafts on his devoted head | C |
| Then ere despair usurp his vanquish'd heart | E |
| Is there a power whose influence benign | F |
| Can bid his head in pillow'd peace recline | F |
| And from his breast withdraw the barbed dart | E |
| There is sweet Hope misfortune rests on thee | G |
| Unswerving anchor of humanity | G |
