Yorick Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEEEE| A golden largesse from a store untold | A |
| Announced the ruddy day's imperial birth | B |
| And woke a loyal world to jubilant mirth | B |
| And hopes that boasted madly over bold | A |
| Shadow and thunder from a dull cloud rolled | A |
| A shiver chilled the lately glittering firth | B |
| As gloom set heavy hand upon the earth | B |
| Yet look on westward hills a gleam of gold | A |
| You have laughed and bidden us laugh O lord of jest | C |
| You have wept and given us grief O lonely friend | D |
| And now we sit with silent lips and white | E |
| And dream what craggy ways thou wanderest | E |
| Not finding yet of hope or strife an end | E |
| O soul set free from bondage of the night | E |
