Tis Hard Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEDEC| 'Tis hard that the full summer of our round | A |
| Is but the turn where winter's sign post's writ | B |
| That to have reached the best is leaving it | B |
| That final loss bears date from having found | A |
| So some proud vessel in a narrow sound | A |
| Sails at high water with the fair wind fit | B |
| And lo the ebb along the sandy spit | B |
| Lower and lower till she jars aground | A |
| - | |
| 'Tis hard We are young still but more content | C |
| 'Tis our ripe flush the heyday of our prime | D |
| We learn full breath how rich of the air we are | E |
| But suddenly we note a touch of time | D |
| A little fleck that scarcely seems to mar | E |
| And we know then that some time since youth went | C |
