To R. B. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| The fine delight that fathers thought the strong | A |
| Spur live and lancing like the blowpipe flame | B |
| Breathes once and quench egrave d faster than it came | B |
| Leaves yet the mind a mother of immortal song | A |
| Nine months she then nay years nine years she long | A |
| Within her wears bears cares and moulds the same | B |
| The widow of an insight lost she lives with aim | B |
| Now known and hand at work now never wrong | A |
| Sweet fire the sire of muse my soul needs this | C |
| I want the one rapture of an inspiration | D |
| O then if in my lagging lines you miss | C |
| The roll the rise the carol the creation | D |
| My winter world that scarcely breathes that bliss | C |
| Now yields you with some sighs our explanation | D |
