Last Days Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLBMNOPQRS GTUVWXYZA2BCBB2XYC2| As one who follows a departing friend | A |
| Destined to cross the great dividing sea | B |
| I watch and follow these departing days | C |
| That go so grandly lifting up their crowns | D |
| Still regal though their victor Autumn comes | E |
| Gifts they bestow which I accept return | F |
| As gifts exchanged between a loving pair | G |
| Who may possess them as memorials | H |
| Of pleasures ended by the shadow Death | I |
| What matter which shall vanish hence if both | J |
| Are transitory me and these bright hours | K |
| And of the future ignorant alike | L |
| From all our social thralls I would be free | B |
| Let care go down the wind as hounds afar | M |
| Within their kennels baying unseen foes | N |
| Give to calm sleepers only calmer dreams | O |
| Here will I rest alone the morning mist | P |
| Conceals no form but mine the evening dew | Q |
| Freshens but faded flowers and my worn face | R |
| When the noon basks among the wooded hills | S |
| I too will bask as silent as the air | G |
| So thick with sun motes dyed like yellow gold | T |
| Or colored purple like an unplucked plum | U |
| The thrush now lonesome for her young have flown | V |
| May flutter her brown wings across my path | W |
| And creatures of the sod with brilliant eyes | X |
| May leap beside me and familiar grow | Y |
| The moon shall rise among her floating clouds | Z |
| Black vaporous fans and crinkled globes of pearl | A2 |
| And her sweet silver light be given to me | B |
| To watch and follow these departing days | C |
| Must be my choice and let me mated be | B |
| With Solitude may memory and hope | B2 |
| Unite to give me faith that nothing dies | X |
| To show me always what I pray to know | Y |
| That man alone may speak the word Farewell | C2 |
