Reminded Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFEEEEGGHH FFFFEEE IIEJEKKJ| Beneath my window twilight made | A |
| Familiar mysteries of shade | A |
| Faint voices from the darkening down | B |
| Were calling vaguely to the town | B |
| Intent upon a low far gleam | C |
| That burned upon the world's extreme | C |
| I sat with short reprieve from grief | D |
| And turned the volume leaf by leaf | D |
| Wherein a hand long dead had wrought | E |
| A million miracles of thought | E |
| My fingers carelessly unclung | F |
| The lettered pages and among | F |
| Them wandered witless nor divined | E |
| The wealth in which poor fools they mined | E |
| The soul that should have led their quest | E |
| Was dreaming in the level west | E |
| Where a tall tower stark and still | G |
| Uplifted on a distant hill | G |
| Stood lone and passionless to claim | H |
| Its guardian star's returning flame | H |
| - | |
| I know not how my dream was broke | F |
| But suddenly my spirit woke | F |
| Filled with a foolish fear to look | F |
| Upon the hand that clove the book | F |
| Significantly pointing next | E |
| I bent attentive to the text | E |
| And read and as I read grew old | E |
| The mindless words 'Poor Tom's a cold ' | - |
| - | |
| Ah me to what a subtle touch | I |
| The brimming cup resigns its clutch | I |
| Upon the wine Dear God is 't writ | E |
| That hearts their overburden bear | J |
| Of bitterness though thou permit | E |
| The pranks of Chance alurk in nooks | K |
| And striking coward blows from books | K |
| And dead hands reaching everywhere | J |
