Recovery Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCB DDEEFE GGBBHB| Where are you going with eyes so dull | A |
| You whose eyes were beautiful | A |
| You whose hair with the light was gay | B |
| And now is thin and harsh and gray | B |
| Is it age alone or age and tears | C |
| That has slowly rubbed your beauty away | B |
| - | |
| Where were you going when your swift eyes | D |
| Were like merry birds under May skies | D |
| In your cheeks the colours fluttering brave | E |
| As you danced with the wind and ran with the wave | E |
| From what bright star was your brightness caught | F |
| What to your music the music gave | E |
| - | |
| Now is your beauty a thing of old | G |
| The fire is sunken the ashes cold | G |
| But if sweet singing on your ear stray | B |
| Or the praise is uttered of yesterday | B |
| Or of courage and nobleness one word said | H |
| Like a cloud Time's ravage is brushed away | B |
