An American To France Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEGHH| O FRANCE with what a shamed and sorry smile | A |
| We now recall that in a bygone day | B |
| We sought of you art wit perfection style | A |
| You were to us a playground and a play | B |
| Paris was ours its sudden green edged spaces | C |
| And sweeping vistas to the coming night | D |
| Brocades and jewels porcelains and laces | C |
| All these we took for leisure and delight | D |
| And all the time we should have drunk our fill | E |
| Of wisdom known to you and you alone | F |
| Clear eyed self knowledge silent courage will | E |
| And now too late we see these things are one | G |
| That art is sacrifice and self control | H |
| And who loves beauty must be stern of soul | H |
