Regret Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CBCDDC| There is a haunting phantom called Regret | A |
| A shadowy creature robed somewhat like Woe | B |
| But fairer in the face whom all men know | B |
| By her sad mien and eyes forever wet | A |
| No heart would seek her but once having met | A |
| All take her by the hand and to and fro | B |
| They wander through those paths of long ago | B |
| Those hallowed ways 'twere wiser to forget | A |
| - | |
| One day she led me to that lost land's gate | C |
| And bade me enter but I answered No | B |
| I will pass on with my bold comrade Fate | C |
| I have no tears to waste on thee no time | D |
| My strength I hoard for heights I hope to climb | D |
| No friend art thou for souls that would be great | C |
