Lines For An Album Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEDFFGG| I would not trace the hackneyed phrase | A |
| Of shallow words and empty praise | A |
| And prate of 'peace' till one might think | B |
| My foolish pen was drunk with ink | B |
| Nor will I here the wish express | C |
| Of 'lasting love and happiness ' | D |
| And 'cloudless skies' for after all | E |
| 'Into each life some rain must fall ' | D |
| No Keep the empty page below | F |
| In my remembrance white as snow | F |
| Nor sigh to know the secret prayer | G |
| My spirit hand has written there | G |
