To E H K, On The Receipt Of A Familiar Poem Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEFDETo 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 |
