Progression Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCECE| To each progressive soul there comes a day | A |
| When all things that have pleased and satisfied | B |
| Grow flavourless the springs of joy seem dried | B |
| No more the waters of youth's fountains play | A |
| Yet out of reach tiptoeing as they may | A |
| The more mature and higher pleasures hide | B |
| Life like a careless nurse fails to provide | B |
| New toys for those the soul has cast away | A |
| - | |
| Upon a strange land's border all alone | C |
| Awhile it stands dismayed and desolate | D |
| Nude too since its old garments are outgrown | C |
| Till clothed with strength befitting its estate | E |
| It grasps at length those raptures that are known | C |
| To souls who learn to labour and to wait | E |
