Lost Youth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCBC DEDF GHGH| For a friend who mourns its passing | A |
| - | |
| He took the earth as earth had been his throne | B |
| And beauty as the red rose for his eye | C |
| Give me the moon he said for mine alone | B |
| Or I will reach and pluck it from the sky | C |
| - | |
| And thou Life dost mourn him for the day | D |
| Has darkened since the gallant youngling went | E |
| And smaller seems thy dwelling place of clay | D |
| Since he has left that valley tenement | F |
| - | |
| But oh perchance beyond some utmost gate | G |
| While at the gate thy stranger feet do stand | H |
| He shall approach thee beautiful elate | G |
| Crowned with his moon the red rose in his hand | H |
