Contemplation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FGH GII| Hou O my Grief be wise and tranquil still | A |
| The eve is thine which even now drops down | B |
| To carry peace or care to human will | A |
| And in a misty veil enfolds the town | B |
| - | |
| While the vile mortals of the multitude | C |
| By pleasure cruel tormentor goaded on | D |
| Gather remorseful blossoms in light mood | C |
| Grief place thy hand in mine let us be gone | E |
| - | |
| Far from them Lo see how the vanished years | F |
| In robes outworn lean over heaven's rim | G |
| And from the water smiling through her tears | H |
| - | |
| Remorse arises and the sun grows dim | G |
| And in the east her long shroud trailing light | I |
| List O my grief the gentle steps of Night | I |
