The Old And The New Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGG| Scorn not the Old 'twas sacred in its day | A |
| A truth overpowering error with its might | B |
| A light dispelling darkness with its ray | A |
| A victory won an intermediate height | B |
| Which seers untrammel'd by their creeds of yore | C |
| Heroes and saints triumphantly attained | D |
| With hard assail and tribulation sore | C |
| That we might use the vantage ground they gain'd | D |
| - | |
| Scorn not the Old but hail and seize the New | E |
| With thrill'd intelligences hearts that burn | F |
| And such truth seeking spirits that it too | E |
| May soon be superseded in its turn | F |
| And men may ever as the ages roll | G |
| March onward toward the still receding goal | G |
