Song Vi: Cherish Life That Abideth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAABC CCCCCD DEDEECC| Love is enough cherish life that abideth | A |
| Lest ye die ere ye know him and curse and misname him | B |
| For who knows in what ruin of all hope he hideth | A |
| On what wings of the terror of darkness he rideth | A |
| And what is the joy of man's life that ye blame him | B |
| For his bliss grown a sword and his rest grown a fire | C |
| - | |
| Ye who tremble for death or the death of desire | C |
| Pass about the cold winter tide garden and ponder | C |
| On the rose in his glory amidst of June's fire | C |
| On the languor of noontide that gathered the thunder | C |
| On the morn and its freshness the eve and its wonder | C |
| Ye may make it no more shall Spring come to awaken | D |
| - | |
| Live on for Love liveth and earth shall be shaken | D |
| By the wind of his wings on the triumphing morning | E |
| When the dead and their deeds that die not shall awaken | D |
| And the world's tale shall sound in your trumpet of warning | E |
| And the sun smite the banner called Scorn of the Scorning | E |
| And dead pain ye shall trample dead fruitless desire | C |
| As ye wend to pluck out the new world from the fire | C |
