The Last Act Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDE FGFGHIHI| NEVER a ring or a lock of hair | A |
| Or a letter stained with tears | B |
| No crown for the princely hour to wear | A |
| To be mocked of the rebel years | C |
| Not a spoken vow not a written page | D |
| And never a rose or a rhyme | E |
| To tell to the wintry ear of age | D |
| The tale of the summer time | E |
| - | |
| - | |
| Never a tear or a farewell kiss | F |
| When the time is come to part | G |
| For the kiss would burn and the tear would hiss | F |
| On the smouldering fire in my heart | G |
| But let me creep to the kindly clay | H |
| And nothing be left to tell | I |
| How I played in your play a year and a day | H |
| And died when the curtain fell | I |
