Redivivus Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII JKJKFF LMNMOO| To day I took old rhymes that I had written | A |
| And read them through each one unto the end | B |
| When with a swift nostalgia was I smitten | A |
| As with sad memories of some old friend | B |
| Some happy wayward man I used to know | C |
| Long since Alas And by the way heigh ho | C |
| - | |
| All his it seemed these sudden cheerful spasms | D |
| Of humor poured from an untroubled mind | E |
| These old ambitions old enthusiasms | D |
| When all the world seemed true and men most kind | E |
| When roseate skies were never tinged with grey | F |
| Ah woe And so to speak alack a day | F |
| - | |
| All his these views so unsophisticated | G |
| These thoughts so innocent and yet so wise | H |
| Such minds as mine have never contemplated | G |
| A world so free of guile so free of lies | H |
| A world of woe and wickedness so free | I |
| Of misery And as it were ah me | I |
| - | |
| Not mine this intricate yet careless weaving | J |
| Of joyous rhymes Not mine this happy twist | K |
| Surely not mine 'Tis far beyond believing | J |
| Such songs come from some youthful optimist | K |
| Who gaily danced along life's primrose way | F |
| And yet Well once again alack a day | F |
| - | |
| Yet they are mine these merry lilting phrases | L |
| Never again shall I pen such sweet lays | M |
| Never again shall I But why the blazes | N |
| Shouldn't I Odds fish and spare me days | M |
| Why shouldn't I The time is surely ripe | O |
| For verses far surpassing this old tripe | O |
