Through Dim Eyes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBADED AFAFABGB AHAHBIJK BLJL| Is it the world or my eyes that are sadder | A |
| I see not the grace that I used to see | B |
| In the meadow brook whose song was so glad or | C |
| In the boughs of the willow tree | B |
| The brook runs slower its song seems lower | A |
| And not the song that it sang of old | D |
| And the tree I admired looks weary and tired | E |
| Of the changeless story of heat and cold | D |
| - | |
| When the sun goes up and the stars go under | A |
| In that supreme hour of the breaking day | F |
| Is it my eyes or the dawn I wonder | A |
| That finds less of the gold and more of the gray | F |
| I see not the splendour the tints so tender | A |
| The rose hued glory I used to see | B |
| And I often borrow a vague half sorrow | G |
| That another morning has dawned for me | B |
| - | |
| When the royal smile of that welcome comer | A |
| Beams on the meadow and burns in the sky | H |
| Is it my eyes or does the Summer | A |
| Bring less of bloom than in days gone by | H |
| The beauty that thrilled me the rapture that filled me | B |
| To an overflowing of happy tears | I |
| I pass unseeing my sad eyes being | J |
| Dimmed by the shadow of vanished years | K |
| - | |
| When the heart grows weary all things seem dreary | B |
| When the burden grows heavy the way seems long | L |
| Thank God for sending kind death as an ending | J |
| Like a grand Amen to a mxinor song | L |
