Harvard Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBAABCDCDCD| CHANGELESS in beauty rose hues on her cheek | A |
| Old walls old trees old memories all around | B |
| Lend her unfading youth their charm antique | A |
| And fill with mystic light her holy ground | B |
| Here the lost dove her leaf of promise found | B |
| While the new morning showed its blushing streak | A |
| Far o'er the waters she had crossed to seek | A |
| The bleak wild shore in billowy forests drowned | B |
| Mother of scholars on thy rising throne | C |
| Thine elder sisters look benignant clown | D |
| England's proud twins and they whose cloisters own | C |
| The fame of Abelard the scarlet gown | D |
| That laughing Kabelais wore not yet outgrown | C |
| And on thy forehead place the New World's crown | D |
