In Memoriam A. H. H.: 45. The Baby New To Earth And Sky Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFE GHHG| The baby new to earth and sky | A |
| What time his tender palm is prest | B |
| Against the circle of the breast | B |
| Has never thought that this is I | A |
| But as he grows he gathers much | C |
| And learns the use of I and me | D |
| And finds I am not what I see | D |
| And other than the things I touch | C |
| So rounds he to a separate mind | E |
| From whence clear memory may begin | F |
| As thro' the frame that binds him in | F |
| His isolation grows defined | E |
| - | |
| This use may lie in blood and breath | G |
| Which else were fruitless of their due | H |
| Had man to learn himself anew | H |
| Beyond the second birth of Death | G |
Alfred Lord Tennyson
