The Progress Of Poesy - A Variation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DADA EFEF| Youth rambles on life's arid mount | A |
| And strikes the rock and finds the vein | B |
| And brings the water from the fount | A |
| The fount which shall not flow again | C |
| - | |
| The man mature with labour chops | D |
| For the bright stream a channel grand | A |
| And sees not that the sacred drops | D |
| Ran off and vanish'd out of hand | A |
| - | |
| And then the old man totters nigh | E |
| And feebly rakes among the stones | F |
| The mount is mute the channel dry | E |
| And down he lays his weary bones | F |
