On Revisiting Harrow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BCDE FGFG HIJI| Here once engaged the stranger's view | A |
| Young Friendship's record simply trac'd | B |
| Few were her words but yet though few | A |
| Resentment's hand the line defac'd | B |
| - | |
| Deeply she cut but not eras'd | B |
| The characters were still so plain | C |
| That Friendship once return'd and gaz'd | D |
| Till Memory hail'd the words again | E |
| - | |
| Repentance plac'd them as before | F |
| Forgiveness join'd her gentle name | G |
| So fair the inscription seem'd once more | F |
| That Friendship thought it still the same | G |
| - | |
| Thus might the Record now have been | H |
| But ah in spite of Hope's endeavour | I |
| Or Friendship's tears Pride rush'd between | J |
| And blotted out the line for ever | I |
George Gordon Lord Byron
