The Poet's Delay Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| IN vain I see the morning rise | A |
| In vain observe the western blaze | B |
| Who idly look to other skies | A |
| Expecting life by other ways | B |
| - | |
| Amidst such boundless wealth without | C |
| I only still am poor within | D |
| The birds have sung their summer out | C |
| But still my spring does not begin | D |
| - | |
| Shall I then wait the autumn wind | E |
| Compelled to seek a milder day | F |
| And leave no curious nest behind | E |
| No woods still echoing to my lay | F |
