To E H K, On The Receipt Of A Familiar Poem Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEFDE| To me like hauntings of a vagrant breath | A |
| From some far forest which I once have known | B |
| The perfume of this flower of verse is blown | B |
| Tho' seemingly soul blossoms faint to death | A |
| Naught that with joy she bears e'er withereth | A |
| So tho' the pregnant years have come and flown | B |
| Lives come and gone and altered like mine own | B |
| This poem comes to me a shibboleth | A |
| Brings sound of past communings to my ear | C |
| Turns round the tide of time and bears me back | D |
| Along an old and long untraversed way | E |
| Makes me forget this is a later year | F |
| Makes me tread o'er a reminiscent track | D |
| Half sad half glad to one forgotten day | E |
