On The Death Of Henry Kirke White, By T. Park Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Too too prophetic did thy wild note swell | A |
| Impassion'd minstrel when its pitying wail | B |
| Sigh'd o'er the vernal primrose as it fell | A |
| Untimely wither'd by the northern gale | B |
| Thou wert that flower of promise and of prime | C |
| Whose opening bloom 'mid many an adverse blast | D |
| Charm'd the lone wanderer through this desert clime | C |
| But charm'd him with a rapture soon o'ercast | D |
| To see thee languish into quick decay | E |
| Yet was not thy departing immature | F |
| For ripe in virtue thou wert reft away | E |
| And pure in spirit as the bless'd are pure | F |
| Pure as the dewdrop freed from earthly leaven | G |
| That sparkles is exhaled and blends with heaven | G |
