The Touch Of Time Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDBCDB| Time who with soft pale ashes veils the brand | A |
| Of many a hope that flared against the sky | B |
| To plant its heaven storming banners high | B |
| Has touched you with no desecrating hand | A |
| Your beauty wins a ripeness sweet and bland | A |
| As opulent summer and your glancing eye | B |
| Glows with a deeper lustre and your sigh | B |
| Of love is still my clamouring heart's command | A |
| - | |
| Yet what if all your fairness were defaced | C |
| Wilted by passionate whirlwinds battle scarred | D |
| Your skin of delicate satin hard and dry | B |
| Still you would be the laughing girl who graced | C |
| A gloomy manhood by forebodings marred | D |
| In the deep wood where still we love to lie | B |
