Retrospect Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBA DEDEDF| This is the mockery of the moving years | A |
| Youth's colour dies the fervid morning glow | B |
| Is gone from off the foreland slow slow | B |
| Even slower than the fount of human tears | C |
| To empty the consuming shadow nears | A |
| That Time is casting on the worldly show | B |
| Of pomp and glory But falter not below | B |
| That thought is based a deeper thought that cheers | A |
| - | |
| Glean thou thy past that will alone inure | D |
| To catch thy heart up from a dark distress | E |
| It were enough to find one deed mature | D |
| Deep rooted mighty 'mid the toil and press | E |
| To save one memory of the sweet and pure | D |
| From out life's failure and its bitterness | F |
