How Many A Man! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFEF| How many a man of those I see around | A |
| Has cherished fair ideals in his youth | B |
| And heard the spirit's call and stood spellbound | A |
| Before the shrine of Beauty or of Truth | B |
| And lived to see his fair ideals fade | C |
| And feel a numbness creep upon his soul | D |
| And sadly know himself no longer swayed | C |
| By rigorous Truth or Beauty's sweet control | D |
| - | |
| For some alas life's thread is almost spun | E |
| Few few and poor the fibres that remain | F |
| But yet while life lasts something may be done | E |
| To make the heavenly vision not in vain | F |
| Yet even yet some triumph may be won | E |
| Yea loss itself be turned to precious gain | F |
