Dead Friend Of My Youth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH IGJG| Now when you come all that way to meet me | A |
| From the country house of your death | B |
| I know that you would remove your hat | C |
| To greet someone already old to you | D |
| - | |
| You'd only half recognize this gentleman | E |
| Whose face has become so very different | F |
| But to me you'd burn in that former pureness | G |
| Kept young by death a light out of boyhood | H |
| - | |
| If you would suddenly deign not to dissolve | I |
| Your highness and withdraw from my presence | G |
| Perhaps I could simply just close my eyes then | J |
| Perhaps I could also get down on my knees | G |
