Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Xxix Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| A glorious triumph On that day of days | A |
| When standing on the summit's utmost edge | B |
| Of my first mountain top I viewed the maze | A |
| Which I had travelled upwards ledge on ledge | B |
| And all that wilderness of rock and plain | C |
| Rolled at my feet and when with heel fast set | D |
| On Nature's neck I knew the giant slain | C |
| My thrall my prisoner on the parapet | D |
| I was transfigured Slowly in me rose | E |
| The throb of courage as a sense new born | F |
| Even Man '' I cried Man's self my foe of foes | E |
| The phantom of my fears shall feel my scorn | F |
| Yet in a nobler war '' And trembling then | G |
| I seemed to stand I too a man with men | G |
