To My Good Friend W. T. H. Howe Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAAAABCDBCD| Friend for the sake of loves we hold in common | A |
| The love of books of paintings rhyme and fiction | A |
| And for the sake of that divine affliction | A |
| The love of art passing the love of woman | A |
| By which all life's made nobler superhuman | A |
| Lifting the soul above and without friction | A |
| Of Time that puts failure in his prediction | A |
| Works to some end through hearts that dreams illumine | A |
| To you I pour this Cup of Dreams a striver | B |
| And dreamer too in this sad world unwitting | C |
| Of that you do the help that still assureth | D |
| Lifts up the heart struck down by that dark driver | B |
| Despair who on Life's pack horse effort sitting | C |
| Rides down Ambition through whom Art endureth | D |
