Looking Back Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBADEF GHGHIDJF AKLKGMGN OMPMCBQB| Do the dancing leaves of summer | A |
| To the time of buds look back | B |
| Does the river moan regretful | C |
| For the brooklet's mountain track | B |
| Does the ripened sheaf of summer | A |
| Heavy with precious grain | D |
| Ask for its hour of blossom | E |
| And the breath of Spring again | F |
| - | |
| Does the golden goblet brimming | G |
| With the precious ruby wine | H |
| Look back with weary longing | G |
| To the damp and dusky mine | H |
| Is the sparkling coin that beareth | I |
| A monarch's image fain | D |
| To seek the glowing furnace | J |
| Where they purged its dross again | F |
| - | |
| Would the chiselled marble gather | A |
| Its rubbish back once more | K |
| And lie down undistinguished | L |
| In the rough rock as before | K |
| Does the costly diamond blazing | G |
| On that crowned and queenly one | M |
| Look back with sorrowful gazing | G |
| To the coarse unpolished stone | N |
| - | |
| And shall man the grandly gifted | O |
| Earth's monarch tho' Earth's son | M |
| Turn back to court the shadows | P |
| Of existence scarce begun | M |
| Nay with strong arm and helpful | C |
| To aid the world's great lack | B |
| Press on nor pause a moment | Q |
| Supinely to look back | B |
