The Portrait Of A Warrior Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG HIJI| His brow is seamed with line and scar | A |
| His cheek is red and dark as wine | B |
| The fires as of a Northern star | A |
| Beneath his cap of sable shine | B |
| - | |
| His right hand bared of leathern glove | C |
| Hangs open like an iron gin | D |
| You stoop to see his pulses move | E |
| To hear the blood sweep out and in | D |
| - | |
| He looks some king so solitary | F |
| In earnest thought he seems to stand | G |
| As if across a lonely sea | F |
| He gazed impatient of the land | G |
| - | |
| Out of the noisy centuries | H |
| The foolish and the fearful fade | I |
| Yet burn unquenched these warrior eyes | J |
| Time hath not dimmed nor death dismayed | I |
