Helas! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABAACDCCED| To drift with every passion till my soul | A |
| Is a stringed lute on which can winds can play | B |
| Is it for this that I have given away | B |
| Mine ancient wisdom and austere control | A |
| Methinks my life is a twice written scroll | A |
| Scrawled over on some boyish holiday | B |
| With idle songs for pipe and virelay | A |
| Which do but mar the secret of the whole | A |
| Surely there was a time I might have trod | C |
| The sunlit heights and from life's dissonance | D |
| Struck one clear chord to reach the ears of God | C |
| Is that time dead lo with a little rod | C |
| I did but touch the honey of romance | E |
| And must I lose a soul's inheritance | D |
