To Virginia (on Her Birthday) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEEFFDGGHHIH| Your past is past and never to return | A |
| The long bright yesterday of life's first years | B |
| Its days are dead cold ashes in an urn | A |
| Some held for you a chalice for your tears | C |
| And other days strewed flowers upon your way | D |
| They all are gone beyond your reach | E |
| And thus they are beyond my speech | E |
| I know them not so that your first gone times | F |
| To me unknown lie far beyond my rhymes | F |
| But I can bless your soul and aims to day | D |
| And I can ask your future to be sweet | G |
| And I can pray that you may never meet | G |
| With any cross you are too weak to bear | H |
| Virginia Virgin name and may you wear | H |
| Its virtues and its beauties fore'er and fore'er | I |
| I breathe this blessing and I pray this prayer | H |
