Gleaners Of Fame Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| Hearken not friend for the resounding din | A |
| That did the Poet's verses once acclaim | B |
| We are but gleaners in the field of fame | B |
| Whence the main harvest hath been gathered in | A |
| The sheaves of glory you are fain to win | A |
| Long since were stored round many a household name | B |
| The reapers of the Past who timely came | B |
| And brought to end what none can now begin | A |
| Yet in the stubbles of renown 'tis right | C |
| To stoop and gather the remaining ears | D |
| And carry homeward in the waning light | C |
| What hath been left us by our happier peers | D |
| So that befall what may we be not quite | C |
| Famished of honour in the far off years | D |
