How Many Bards Gild The Lapses Of Time! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCDC| How many bards gild the lapses of time | A |
| A few of them have ever been the food | B |
| Of my delighted fancy I could brood | B |
| Over their beauties earthly or sublime | A |
| And often when I sit me down to rhyme | A |
| These will in throngs before my mind intrude | B |
| But no confusion no disturbance rude | B |
| Do they occasion 'tis a pleasing chime | A |
| So the unnumbered sounds that evening store | C |
| The songs of birds the whispering of the leaves | D |
| The voice of waters the great bell that heaves | D |
| With solemn sound and thousand others more | C |
| That distance of recognizance bereaves | D |
| Makes pleasing music and not wild uproar | C |
