The After-glow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFHIJIJKLKL MNMNOPOP| Suspicion's playful counterfeit | A |
| Begot your question strange | B |
| The only thing that I forget | C |
| Is that there's any change | B |
| Did that long blight which fell on you | D |
| My zeal of heart assuage | E |
| Less willing shall I watch you through | D |
| The milder illness age | E |
| To my monopoly first blind | F |
| When risks no longer live | G |
| And careless of the hand so kind | F |
| That has no more to give | H |
| Shall I forget Spring like a tree | I |
| Nor boast Her honied cup | J |
| Of beauty to his lips save me | I |
| No man has lifted up | J |
| Mine are not memories that come | K |
| Of joys that could not last | L |
| They are and you Dear are the sum | K |
| Of all your lovely past | L |
| Yet if with all this conscious weal | M |
| I still should covet more | N |
| The joy behind me shall reveal | M |
| The joy that waits before | N |
| I'll mind from sickness how to life | O |
| You came by tardy stealth | P |
| Till one spring day I clasp'd my wife | O |
| Abloom with blandest health | P |
