When In The Long-drawn Avenues Of Thought Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| When in the long drawn avenues of Thought | A |
| I halt and look before me and behind | B |
| And seek what erst I all too little sought | A |
| Some spot secure of rest I do not find | B |
| Retrace my steps I dare not lest each nook | C |
| I late rejected should reject me now | D |
| And sweetest arbours restlessly forsook | C |
| No more be prone their leafage to allow | D |
| So to the untrod distance do I strain | E |
| Which seemeth ever further to extend | F |
| Desiring oft in irritable pain | E |
| Premature sleep would bring that settled End | F |
| When I shall know it all or else forget | G |
| This far too little which for more doth fret | G |
