The Name Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFG| THY name was once the magic spell by which my thoughts were bound | A |
| And burning dreams of light and love were wakened by that sound | A |
| My heart beat quick when stranger tongues with idle praise or blame | B |
| Awoke its deepest thrill of life to tremble at that name | B |
| - | |
| Long years long years have passed away and altered is thy brow | C |
| And we who met so gladly once must meet as strangers now | C |
| The friends of yore come round me still but talk no more of thee | D |
| 'Tis idle ev'n to wish it now for what art thou to me | D |
| - | |
| Yet still thy name thy blessed name my lonely bosom fills | E |
| Like an echo that hath lost itself among the distant hills | E |
| Which still with melancholy note keeps faintly lingering on | F |
| When the jocund sound that woke it first is gone for ever gone | G |
