Baccalaureate Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAAAA AAAAAAAA BCBDCD

A year or two and grey EuripidesA
And Horace and a Lydia or soA
And Euclid and the brush of AngeloA
Darwin on man Vergilius on beesA
The nose and Dialogues of SocratesA
Don Quixote Hudibras and TrinculoA
How worlds are spawned and where the dead gods goA
All shall be shard of broken memoriesA
-
And there shall linger other magic thingsA
The fog that creeps in wanly from the seaA
The rotton harbor smell the mysteryA
Of moonlit elms the flash of pigeon wingsA
The sunny Green the old world peace that clingsA
About the college yard where endlesslyA
The dead go up and down These things shall beA
Enchantment of our heart's rememberingsA
-
And these are more than memories of youthB
Which earth's four winds of pain shall blow awayC
These are earth's symbols of eternal truthB
Symbols of dream and imagery and flameD
Symbols of those same verities that playC
Bright through the crumbling gold of a great nameD
