Henry Layton Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFBCGHDFI| Whoever thou art who passest by | A |
| Know that my father was gentle | B |
| And my mother was violent | C |
| While I was born the whole of such hostile halves | D |
| Not intermixed and fused | E |
| But each distinct feebly soldered together | F |
| Some of you saw me as gentle | B |
| Some as violent | C |
| Some as both | G |
| But neither half of me wrought my ruin | H |
| It was the falling asunder of halves | D |
| Never a part of each other | F |
| That left me a lifeless soul | I |
