I Shall Go Back Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| I shall go back again to the bleak shore | A |
| And build a little shanty on the sand | B |
| In such a way that the extremest band | B |
| Of brittle seaweed shall escape my door | A |
| But by a yard or two and nevermore | A |
| Shall I return to take you by the hand | B |
| I shall be gone to what I understand | B |
| And happier than I ever was before | A |
| The love that stood a moment in your eyes | C |
| The words that lay a moment on your tongue | D |
| Are one with all that in a moment dies | C |
| A little under said and over sung | D |
| But I shall find the sullen rocks and skies | C |
| Unchanged from what they were when I was young | D |
