Response Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAABCDDCCEEFF| Beside that milestone where the level sun | A |
| Nigh unto setting sheds his last low rays | B |
| On word and work irrevocably done | A |
| Life's blending threads of good and ill outspun | A |
| I hear O friends your words of cheer and praise | B |
| Half doubtful if myself or otherwise | C |
| Like him who in the old Arabian joke | D |
| A beggar slept and crowned Caliph woke | D |
| Thanks not the less With not unglad surprise | C |
| I see my life work through your partial eyes | C |
| Assured in giving to my home taught songs | E |
| A higher value than of right belongs | E |
| You do but read between the written lines | F |
| The finer grace of unfulfilled designs | F |
