In Memory Of Henry A. Bright Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBDEFFEEF| Yet again another ere his crowning year | A |
| Gone from friends that here may look for him no more | B |
| Never now for him shall hope set wide the door | B |
| Hope that hailed him hither fain to greet him here | C |
| All the gracious garden flowers he held so dear | A |
| Oldworld English blossoms all his homestead store | B |
| Oldworld grief had strewn them round his bier of yore | B |
| Bidding each drop leaf by leaf as tear by tear | D |
| Rarer lutes than mine had borne more tuneful token | E |
| Touched by subtler hands than echoing time can wrong | F |
| Sweet as flowers had strewn his graveward path along | F |
| Now may no such old sweet dirges more be spoken | E |
| Now the flowers whose breath was very song are broken | E |
| Nor may sorrow find again so sweet a song | F |
