Anonymous Plays: Xvii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCBDDB| YE TOO dim watchfires of some darkling hour | A |
| Whose fame forlorn time saves not nor proclaims | B |
| For ever but forgetfulness defames | B |
| And darkness and the shadow of death devour | A |
| Lift up ye too your light put forth your power | A |
| Let the far twilight feel your soft small flames | B |
| And smile albeit night name not even their names | B |
| Ghost by ghost passing flower blown down on flower | A |
| That sweet tongued shadow like a star s that passed | C |
| Singing and light was from its darkness cast | C |
| To paint the face of Painting fair with praise | B |
| And that wherein forefigured smiles the pure | D |
| Fraternal face of Wordsworth s Elidure | D |
| Between two child faced masks of merrier days | B |
