In The Harbour: A Quiet Life. (from The French) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEFFE| Let him who will by force or fraud innate | A |
| Of courtly grandeurs gain the slippery height | B |
| I leaving not the home of my delight | B |
| Far from the world and noise will meditate | A |
| Then without pomps or perils of the great | A |
| I shall behold the day succeed the night | B |
| Behold the alternate seasons take their flight | B |
| And in serene repose old age await | A |
| And so whenever Death shall come to close | C |
| The happy moments that my days compose | D |
| I full of years shall die obscure alone | E |
| How wretched is the man with honors crowned | F |
| Who having not the one thing needful found | F |
| Dies known to all but to himself unknown | E |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
