Pleasure's Past. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCBCBCDCAEF| Spring's sweets they are not fled though Summer's blossom | A |
| Has met its blight of sadness drooping low | B |
| Still flowers gone by find beds in memory's bosom | A |
| Life's nursling buds among the weeds of woe | B |
| Each pleasing token of Spring's early morning | C |
| Warms with the pleasures which we once did know | B |
| Each little stem the leafy bank adorning | C |
| Reminds of joys from infancy that flow | B |
| Spring's early heralds on the winter smiling | C |
| That often on their errands meet their doom | D |
| Primrose and daisy dreary hours beguiling | C |
| Smile o'er my pleasures past whene'er they come | A |
| And the speckt throstle never wakes his song | E |
| But Life's past Spring seems melting from his tongue | F |
