Leisure Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDBEAFGHIIH| Leisure thou goddess of a bygone age | A |
| When hours were long and days sufficed to hold | B |
| Wide eyed delights and pleasures uncontrolled | B |
| By shortening moments when no gaunt presage | C |
| Of undone duties modern heritage | D |
| Haunted our happy minds must thou withhold | B |
| Thy presence from this over busy world | E |
| And bearing silence with thee disengage | A |
| Our twined fortunes Deeps of unhewn woods | F |
| Alone can cherish thee alone possess | G |
| Thy quiet teeming vigor This our crime | H |
| Not to have worshipped marred by alien moods | I |
| That sole condition of all loveliness | I |
| The dreaming lapse of slow unmeasured time | H |
