The Times Editorials Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGFFLovely Antiques breathing in every line | A |
The perfume of an age long passed away | B |
Wafting us back to | C |
Museum pieces of a by gone day | B |
You should not languish in the public press | D |
Where modern thought might reach and do you harm | E |
And vulgar youth insult your hoariness | D |
Missing the flavor of your old world charm | E |
You should be locked where rust cannot corrode | F |
In some old rosewood cabinet dimmed by age | G |
With silver lustre tortoise shell and Spode | F |
And all would cry who read your yellowing page | G |
Yes that's the sort of thing that men believed | F |
Before the First Reform Bill was conceived | F |
