A Fixed Idea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAAAAAACACACWhat torture lurks within a single thought | A |
When grown too constant and however kind | B |
However welcome still the weary mind | B |
Aches with its presence Dull remembrance taught | A |
Remembers on unceasingly unsought | A |
The old delight is with us but to find | A |
That all recurring joy is pain refined | A |
Become a habit and we struggle caught | A |
You lie upon my heart as on a nest | A |
Folded in peace for you can never know | C |
How crushed I am with having you at rest | A |
Heavy upon my life I love you so | C |
You bind my freedom from its rightful quest | A |
In mercy lift your drooping wings and go | C |
