Regret Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBA CDCDEC FGFGGF HIJKLJ| Thin summer rain on grass and bush and hedge | A |
| Reddening the road and deepening the green | B |
| On wide blurred lawn and in close tangled sedge | A |
| Veiling in gray the landscape stretched between | B |
| These low broad meadows and the pale hills seen | B |
| But dimly on the far horizon's edge | A |
| - | |
| In these transparent clouded gentle skies | C |
| Wherethrough the moist beams of the soft June sun | D |
| Might any moment break no sorrow lies | C |
| No note of grief in swollen brooks that run | D |
| No hint of woe in this subdued calm tone | E |
| Of all the prospect unto dreamy eyes | C |
| - | |
| Only a tender unnamed half regret | F |
| For the lost beauty of the gracious morn | G |
| A yearning aspiration fainter yet | F |
| For brighter suns in joyous days unborn | G |
| Now while brief showers ruffle grass and corn | G |
| And all the earth lies shadowed grave and wet | F |
| - | |
| Space for the happy soul to pause again | H |
| From pure content of all unbroken bliss | I |
| To dream the future void of grief and pain | J |
| And muse upon the past in reveries | K |
| More sweet for knowledge that the present is | L |
| Not all complete with mist and clouds and rain | J |
