Joys Of Youth. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBABCDCCEFGFGHow pleasing simplest recollections seem | A |
Now summer comes it warms me to look back | B |
On the sweet happiness of youth's wild track | B |
Varied and fleeting as a summer dream | A |
Here have I paus'd upon the sweeping rack | B |
That specks like wool flocks through the purple sky | C |
Here have I careless stooped down to catch | D |
The meadow flower that entertain'd my eye | C |
And as the butterfly went whirring by | C |
How anxious for its settling did I watch | E |
And oft long purples on the water's brink | F |
Have tempted me to wade in spite of fate | G |
To pluck the flowers Oh to look back and think | F |
What pleasing pains such simple joys create | G |
