On The Night Of A Friend's Wedding Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBC BDEBFE| If ever I am old and all alone | A |
| I shall have killed one grief at any rate | B |
| For then thank God I shall not have to wait | B |
| Much longer for the sheaves that I have sown | A |
| The devil only knows what I have done | C |
| But here I am and here are six or eight | B |
| Good friends who most ingenuously prate | B |
| About my songs to such and such a one | C |
| - | |
| But everything is all askew to night | B |
| As if the time were come or almost come | D |
| For their untenanted mirage of me | E |
| To lose itself and crumble out of sight | B |
| Like a tall ship that floats above the foam | F |
| A little while and then breaks utterly | E |
