The Deeds That Might Have Been Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACBACA DDDDEF| There are wrongs done in the fair face of heaven | A |
| Which cry aloud for vengeance and shall cry | B |
| Loves beautiful in strength whose wit has striven | A |
| Vainly with loss and man's inconstancy | C |
| Dead children's faces watched by souls that die | B |
| Pure streams defiled fair forests idly riven | A |
| A nation suppliant in its agony | C |
| Calling on justice and no help is given | A |
| - | |
| All these are pitiful Yet after tears | D |
| Come rest and sleep and calm forgetfulness | D |
| And God's good providence consoles the years | D |
| Only the coward heart which did not guess | D |
| The dreamer of brave deeds that might have been | E |
| Shall cureless ache with wounds for ever green | F |
