A New Pilgrimage: Sonnet Xxv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBABACDCDBB| And what brave life it was we lived that tide | A |
| Lived or essayed to live for who shall say | B |
| Youth garners aught but its own dreams denied | A |
| Or handles what it hoped for yesterday | B |
| High prophets were we of the uncultured lay | B |
| Supremely scorning all that to our pride | A |
| Seemed less than truth Be truth the thing it may | B |
| Our Goddess she deformed but deified | A |
| Prophets and poets of the Earth's last birth | C |
| Revealed in ugliness a blind despair | D |
| Only that we were young and of such worth | C |
| As still can thrive upon life's leanest fare | D |
| And find in the world's turmoil its full quittance | B |
| Of joy denied however poor the pittance | B |
