In Grey Days Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB ADED AFGF AECE AHIH ABJB

Measures of oil for othersA
Oil and red wineB
Lips laugh and drink but neverC
Are the lips mineB
-
Worlds at the feet of othersA
Power gods have knownD
Hearts for the favoured round meE
Mine beats aloneD
-
Fame offering to othersA
Chaplets of baysF
I with no crown of laurelsG
Only grey daysF
-
Sweet human love for othersA
Deep as the seaE
God sent unto my neighbourC
But not to meE
-
Sometime I'll wrest from othersA
More than all thisH
I shall demand from HeavenI
Far sweeter blissH
-
What profit then to othersA
Laughter and wineB
I'll have what most they covetJ
Death will be mineB
