On Finding A Fan Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EEEE FGFG HIJI| In one who felt as once he felt | A |
| This might perhaps have fann'd the flame | B |
| But now his heart no more will melt | A |
| Because that heart is not the same | B |
| - | |
| As when the ebbing flames are low | C |
| The aid which once improved their light | D |
| And bade them burn with fiercer glow | C |
| Now quenches all their blaze in night | D |
| - | |
| Thus has it been with Passion's fires | E |
| As many a boy and girl remembers | E |
| While every hope of love expires | E |
| Extinguish'd with the dying embers | E |
| - | |
| The first though not a spark survive | F |
| Some careful hand may teach to burn | G |
| The last alas can ne'er survive | F |
| No touch can bid its warmth return | G |
| - | |
| Or if it chance to wake again | H |
| Not always doom'd its heat to smother | I |
| It sheds so wayward fates ordain | J |
| Its former warmth around another | I |
George Gordon Lord Byron
