To Miss --- Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEFGHGHIJIJKLKL MNOPQEQE| Time beckons on the hours the expiring year | A |
| Already feels old Winter's icy breath | B |
| As with cold hands he scatters on her bier | C |
| The faded glories of her Autumn wreath | D |
| As fleetly as the Summer's sunshine past | E |
| The Winter's snow must melt and the young Spring | F |
| Strewing the earth with flowers will come at last | E |
| And in her train the hour of parting bring | F |
| But though I leave the harbour where my heart | G |
| Sometime had found a peaceful resting place | H |
| Where it lay calmly moored though I depart | G |
| Yet let not time my memory quite efface | H |
| 'Tis true I leave no void the happy home | I |
| To which you welcomed me will be as gay | J |
| As bright as cheerful when I've turned to roam | I |
| Once more upon life's weary onward way | J |
| But oh if ever by the warm hearth's blaze | K |
| Where beaming eyes and kindred souls are met | L |
| Your fancy wanders back to former days | K |
| Let my remembrance hover round you yet | L |
| Then while before you glides time's shadowy train | M |
| Of forms long vanished days and hours long gone | N |
| Perchance my name will be pronounced again | O |
| In that dear circle where I once was one | P |
| Think of me then nor break kind memory's spell | Q |
| By reason's censure coldly o'er me cast | E |
| Think only that I loved ye passing well | Q |
| And let my follies slumber with the past | E |
