A Friend Indeed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEE AAFFAAA GAAAAHI JKFFKEE| If every friend who meditates | A |
| In soft unspoken thought | B |
| With winning courtesy and tact | C |
| The doing of a kindly act | C |
| To cheer some lonely lot | D |
| Were like the friend of whom I dream | E |
| Then hardship but a myth would seem | E |
| - | |
| If sympathy were always thus | A |
| Oblivious of space | A |
| And like the tendrils of the vine | F |
| Could just as lovingly incline | F |
| To one in distant place | A |
| 'Twould draw the world together so | A |
| Might none the name of stranger know | A |
| - | |
| If every throb responsive that | G |
| My ardent spirit thrills | A |
| Could like the skylark's ecstasy | A |
| Be vocal in sweet melody | A |
| Beyond dividing hills | A |
| In octaves of the atmosphere | H |
| Were music wafted to his ear | I |
| - | |
| If every friendship were like one | J |
| So helpful and so true | K |
| To other hearts as sad as mine | F |
| 'Twould bring the joy so near divine | F |
| And hope revive anew | K |
| So life's dull path would it illume | E |
| And radiate beyond the tomb | E |
