Dregs Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCABDDEEB| The fire is out and spent the warmth thereof | A |
| This is the end of every song man sings | B |
| The golden wine is drunk the dregs remain | C |
| Bitter as wormwood and as salt as pain | C |
| And health and hope have gone the way of love | A |
| Into the drear oblivion of lost things | B |
| Ghosts go along with us until the end | D |
| This was a mistress this perhaps a friend | D |
| With pale indifferent eyes we sit and wait | E |
| For the dropped curtain and the closing gate | E |
| This is the end of all the songs man sings | B |
