Eudaemon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEFGHH IJIJKL MNMOPP| O happiness I know not what far seas | A |
| Blue hills and deep thy sunny realms surround | B |
| That thus in Music's wistful harmonies | A |
| And concert of sweet sound | B |
| A rumor steals from some uncertain shore | C |
| Of lovely things outworn or gladness yet in store | C |
| - | |
| Whether thy beams be pitiful and come | D |
| Across the sundering of vanished years | E |
| From childhood and the happy fields of home | F |
| Like eyes instinct with tears | G |
| Felt through green brakes of hedge and apple bough | H |
| Round haunts delightful once desert and silent now | H |
| - | |
| Or yet if prescience of unrealized love | I |
| Startle the breast with each melodious air | J |
| And gifts that gentle hands are donors of | I |
| Still wait intact somewhere | J |
| Furled up all golden in a perfumed place | K |
| Within the folded petals of forthcoming days | L |
| - | |
| Only forever in the old unrest | M |
| Of winds and waters and the varying year | N |
| A litany from islands of the blessed | M |
| Answers Not here not here | O |
| And over the wide world that wandering cry | P |
| Shall lead my searching heart unsoothed until I die | P |
