My Books Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| Sadly as some old mediaeval knight | A |
| Gazed at the arms he could no longer wield | B |
| The sword two handed and the shining shield | B |
| Suspended in the hall and full in sight | A |
| While secret longings for the lost delight | A |
| Of tourney or adventure in the field | B |
| Came over him and tears but half concealed | B |
| Trembled and fell upon his beard of white | A |
| So I behold these books upon their shelf | C |
| My ornaments and arms of other days | D |
| Not wholly useless though no longer used | E |
| For they remind me of my other self | C |
| Younger and stronger and the pleasant ways | D |
| In which I walked now clouded and confused | E |
