Dear Friends Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDF| Dear friends reproach me not for what I do | A |
| Nor counsel me nor pity me nor say | B |
| That I am wearing half my life away | B |
| For bubble work that only fools pursue | A |
| And if my bubbles be too small for you | A |
| Blow bigger then your own the games we play | B |
| To fill the frittered minutes of a day | B |
| Good glasses are to read the spirit through | A |
| - | |
| And whoso reads may get him some shrewd skill | C |
| And some unprofitable scorn resign | D |
| To praise the very thing that he deplores | E |
| So friends dear friends remember if you will | C |
| The shame I win for singing is all mine | D |
| The gold I miss for dreaming is all yours | F |
