More Fortunate Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCCDC| I hold that life more fortunate by far | A |
| That sits with its sweet memories alone | B |
| And cherishes a joy for ever flown | B |
| Beyond the reach of accident to mar | A |
| Some joy that was extinguished like a star | A |
| Than that which makes the prize so much its own | B |
| That its poor commonplacenesses are shown | B |
| Which in all things when viewed too closely are | A |
| - | |
| Better to mourn a blossom snatched away | C |
| Before it reached perfection than behold | D |
| With dry unhappy eyes day after day | C |
| The fresh bloom fade and the fair leaf decay | C |
| Better to lose the dream with all its gold | D |
| Than keep it till it changes to dull grey | C |
