Sonnet (oh For A Poet'for A Beacon Bright) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CCDEED| Oh for a poet for a beacon bright | A |
| To rift this changeless glimmer of dead gray | B |
| To spirit back the Muses long astray | B |
| And flush Parnassus with a newer light | A |
| To put these little sonnet men to flight | A |
| Who fashion in a shrewd mechanic way | B |
| Songs without souls that flicker for a day | B |
| To vanish in irrevocable night | A |
| - | |
| What does it mean this barren age of ours | C |
| Here are the men the women and the flowers | C |
| The seasons and the sunset as before | D |
| What does it mean Shall not one bard arise | E |
| To wrench one banner from the western skies | E |
| And mark it with his name forevermore | D |
