Resurge Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Come forth O Man from darkness into light | A |
| Renounce the dust break through thy sordid bars | B |
| For ever leave the crawling shapes of Night | A |
| And move erect among thy native stars | B |
| No longer grovel in a foetid cell | C |
| When all the spaces of the sky are thine | D |
| With Sloth and Want no more a beggar dwell | C |
| When thou canst claim a heritage divine | D |
| Awake and live nor dream the dreams of death | E |
| That brood fantastic fearful o'er thy grave | F |
| Thou art not of the stuff that perisheth | E |
| Nor unto Fate and Time art thou a slave | F |
| Thy power extends beyond the starry Pole | G |
| And worlds and suns revolve within thy soul | G |
