A Sigh, In A Play-ground Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDBBAAEEAAFF| O happy spot how much the sight of thee | A |
| Wakes the endearments of my infancy | A |
| The very trees through which the wild winds sigh | B |
| Seem whispering now some joys of youth gone by | B |
| And each spot round so sacred to my sight | C |
| Hints at some former moment of delight | C |
| Each object there still warmly seems to claim | D |
| Tender remembrance of some childish game | D |
| Still on the slabs before yon door that lie | B |
| The top seems spinning in fond memory's eye | B |
| And fancy's echo still yon field resounds | A |
| With noise of blind man's buff and fox and hounds | A |
| Ah as left rotting 'neath its mossy crown | E |
| The pile stands sacred o'er some past renown | E |
| So thou dear spot though doubtless but to me | A |
| Art sacred from the joys possess'd in thee | A |
| That rose and shone and set a sun's sojourn | F |
| As quick in speed alas without return | F |
