Had I Wist Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BAB ABA| Had I wist when life was like a warm wind playing | A |
| Light and loud through sundawn and the dew's bright trust | B |
| How the time should come for hearts to sigh in saying | A |
| 'Had I wist' | B |
| - | |
| Surely not the roses laughing as they kissed | B |
| Not the lovelier laugh of seas in sunshine swaying | A |
| Should have lured my soul to look thereon and list | B |
| - | |
| Now the wind is like a soul cast out and praying | A |
| Vainly prayers that pierce not ears when hearts resist | B |
| Now mine own soul sighs adrift as wind and straying | A |
| 'Had I wist ' | - |
