A Retrospect Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEFGGFHHII| Life wanes and the bright sunlight of our youth | A |
| Sets o'er the mountain tops where once Hope stood | B |
| Oh Innocence oh Trustfulness oh Truth | A |
| Where are ye all white handed sisterhood | B |
| Who with me on my way did walk along | C |
| Singing sweet scraps of that immortal song | C |
| That's hymn'd in Heaven but hath no echo here | D |
| Are ye departing fellows bright and clear | E |
| Of the young spirit when it first alights | F |
| Upon this earth of darkness and dismay | G |
| Farewell fair children of th' eternal day | G |
| Blossoms of that far land where fall no blights | F |
| Sweet kindred of my exiled soul farewell | H |
| Here I must wander here ye may not dwell | H |
| Back to your home beyond the founts of light | I |
| I see ye fly and I am wrapt in night | I |
