Regret Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBA CDCDEC FGFGGF HIJKLJThin 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 |
