Gone Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EAFA GAHA IJIJ KILI| Upon time's surging billowy sea | A |
| A ship now slowly disappears | B |
| With freight no human eye can see | A |
| But weighing just one hundred years | B |
| - | |
| Their sighs their tears their weary moans | C |
| Their joy and pleasure pomp and pride | D |
| Their angry and their gentle tones | C |
| Beneath its waves forever hide | D |
| - | |
| Yes sunk within oblivion's waves | E |
| They'll partly live in memory | A |
| To youth who will their secrets crave | F |
| Mostly exist in history | A |
| - | |
| Ah what a truth steps in this strain | G |
| They are not lost within time's sea | A |
| Their words and actions live again | H |
| And blight or light eternity | A |
| - | |
| A new ship comes within our view | I |
| Laden with dreams both sad and blest | J |
| To youth they're tinged with roseate hue | I |
| To weary ones bring longed for rest | J |
| - | |
| And still the stream of life flows on | K |
| Laughing beneath the century new | I |
| God's promise gilds the horizon | L |
| Mercy shall reign his word is true | I |
