Regret Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABBA CDCDEC FGFGGF HIJKLJ

Thin summer rain on grass and bush and hedgeA
Reddening the road and deepening the greenB
On wide blurred lawn and in close tangled sedgeA
Veiling in gray the landscape stretched betweenB
These low broad meadows and the pale hills seenB
But dimly on the far horizon's edgeA
-
In these transparent clouded gentle skiesC
Wherethrough the moist beams of the soft June sunD
Might any moment break no sorrow liesC
No note of grief in swollen brooks that runD
No hint of woe in this subdued calm toneE
Of all the prospect unto dreamy eyesC
-
Only a tender unnamed half regretF
For the lost beauty of the gracious mornG
A yearning aspiration fainter yetF
For brighter suns in joyous days unbornG
Now while brief showers ruffle grass and cornG
And all the earth lies shadowed grave and wetF
-
Space for the happy soul to pause againH
From pure content of all unbroken blissI
To dream the future void of grief and painJ
And muse upon the past in reveriesK
More sweet for knowledge that the present isL
Not all complete with mist and clouds and rainJ
