Beloved, With The Spent And Sickly Fumes... Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEBE FGFH BBFB BIJK| Beloved with the spent and sickly fumes | A |
| Of rumour's cinders all the air is filled | B |
| But you are the engrossing lexicon | C |
| Of fame mysterious and unrevealed | B |
| - | |
| And fame it is the soil's strong pull | D |
| Would that I more erect were sprung | E |
| But even so I shall be called | B |
| The native son of my own native tongue | E |
| - | |
| The poets' age no longer sets their rhyme | F |
| Now in the sweep of country plots and roads | G |
| Lermontov is rhymed with summertime | F |
| And Pushkin rhymes with geese and snow | H |
| - | |
| And my wish is that when we die | B |
| Our circle closed and hence depart | B |
| We shall be set in closer rhyme | F |
| Than binds the auricle and the heart | B |
| - | |
| And may our harmony unified | B |
| Some listener's muffled ear caress | I |
| With all that we do now imbibe | J |
| And shall draw in through mouths of grass | K |
