A Fragment Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH| Should fickle hands in far off days | A |
| No longer stroke thy hair | B |
| And lips that once were proud to praise | A |
| Forget to call thee fair | B |
| Sigh but my name and though I be | C |
| Mute in the churchyard mould | D |
| I will arise and come to thee | C |
| And worship as of old | D |
| - | |
| And should I meet the wrinkled brow | E |
| Or find the silver tress | F |
| What were't to me it would be thou | E |
| I could not love thee less | F |
| 'Gainst love time wages bootless strife | G |
| What now is would be then | H |
| The cry that brought me back to life | G |
| Would make thee young again | H |
