Ex Libris Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCA DEDEDE| In an old book at even as I read | A |
| Fast fading words adown my shadowy page | B |
| I crossed a tale of how in other age | B |
| At Arqua with his books around him sped | A |
| The word to Petrarch and with noble head | A |
| Bowed gently o'er his volume that sweet sage | B |
| To Silence paid his willing seigniorage | C |
| And they who found him whispered He is dead | A |
| - | |
| Thus timely from old comradeships would I | D |
| To Silence also rise Let there be night | E |
| Stillness and only these staid watchers by | D |
| And no light shine save my low study light | E |
| Lest of his kind intent some human cry | D |
| Interpret not the Messenger aright | E |
