What Is To Come We Know Not Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCA AABD AABBADWhat is to come we know not But we know | A |
That what has been was good was good to show | A |
Better to hide and best of all to bear | B |
We are the masters of the days that were | C |
We have lived we have loved we have suffered even so | A |
- | |
Shall we not take the ebb who had the flow | A |
Life was our friend Now if it be our foe | A |
Dear though it spoil and break us need we care | B |
What is to come | D |

Let the great winds their worst and wildest blow | A |
Or the gold weather round us mellow slow | A |
We have fulfilled ourselves and we can dare | B |
And we can conquer though we may not share | B |
In the rich quiet of the afterglow | A |
What is to come | D |
