To Any Friend Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GAGA HIHI| If I did seem to you no more | A |
| Than to myself I seem | B |
| Not thus you would fling wide the door | A |
| And on the beggar beam | B |
| - | |
| You would not don your radiant best | C |
| Or dole me more than half | D |
| Poor palmer I no angel guest | C |
| A shaking reed my staff | D |
| - | |
| At home no rich fruit hanging low | E |
| Have I for Love to pull | F |
| Only unripe things that must grow | E |
| Till Autumn's maund be full | F |
| - | |
| But I forsake my niggard leas | G |
| My orchard too late hoar | A |
| And wander over lands and seas | G |
| To find the Father's door | A |
| - | |
| When I have reached the ancestral farm | H |
| Have clomb the steepy hill | I |
| And round me rests the Father's arm | H |
| Then think me what you will | I |
