A Thanksgiving Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGABAB| From brief delights that rise to me | A |
| Out of unfathomable dole | B |
| I thank whatever gods there be | A |
| For mine unconquerable soul | B |
| In the strong clutch of Circumstance | C |
| It has not winced nor groaned aloud | D |
| Before the blows of eyeless chance | C |
| My head is bloody but unbowed | E |
| I front unfeared the threat of space | F |
| And dwindle into dark again | G |
| My work is done I take my place | F |
| Among the years that wait for men | G |
| My life my broken life must be | A |
| One unsuccourable dole | B |
| I thank the gods they gave to me | A |
| A dauntless and defiant soul | B |
