Heritage Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIJ KILI| Now the dead past seems vividly alive | A |
| And in this shining moment I can trace | B |
| Down through the vista of the vanished years | C |
| Your faun like form your fond elusive face | B |
| And suddenly some secret spring's released | D |
| And unawares a riddle is revealed | E |
| And I can read like large black lettered print | F |
| What seemed before a thing forever sealed | E |
| - | |
| I know the magic word the graceful thought | G |
| The song that fills me in my lucid hours | H |
| The spirit's wine that thrills my body through | I |
| And makes me music drunk are yours all yours | J |
| - | |
| I cannot praise for you have passed from praise | K |
| I have no tinted thoughts to paint you true | I |
| But I can feel and I can write the word | L |
| The best of me is but the least of you | I |
