Bygones Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FDFD GHGH IEIE CBCB| Or ever a lick of Art was done | A |
| Or ever a one to care | B |
| I was a Purple Polygon | C |
| And you were a Sky Blue Square | B |
| - | |
| You yearned for me across a void | D |
| For I lay in a different plane | E |
| I'd set my heart on a Red Rhomboid | D |
| And your sighing was in vain | E |
| - | |
| You pined for me as well I knew | F |
| And you faded day by day | D |
| Until the Square that was heavenly Blue | F |
| Had paled to an ashen grey | D |
| - | |
| A myriad years or less or more | G |
| Have softly fluttered by | H |
| Matters are much as they were before | G |
| Except 'tis I that sigh | H |
| - | |
| I yearn for you but I have no chance | I |
| You lie in a different plane | E |
| I break my heart for a single glance | I |
| And I break said heart in vain | E |
| - | |
| And ever I grow more pale and wan | C |
| And taste your old despair | B |
| When I was a Purple Polygon | C |
| And you were a Sky Blue Square | B |
