The Retreat. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGHIHJKJK| Against my lonely latter years | A |
| I'll build a faery home for me | B |
| Proof against sorrow with its fears | A |
| And age with its adversity | B |
| Within a region bosomed high | C |
| Above the ways of worldly men | D |
| In a demesne where by and by | C |
| I oft shall come and go again | D |
| Ah there my home in a green nook | E |
| Shall sweetly stand the siege of time | F |
| Where Thought may read his riddle book | E |
| As to the murmur of old rhyme | F |
| And faery footings still shall lead | G |
| My feet among mesmeric ways | H |
| Where life is like a dream indeed | I |
| And all the days are summer days | H |
| But sylphs and fays and simple things | J |
| Shall murmur in my pensive ear | K |
| Until the change shall come that brings | J |
| Me and my world to ruin here | K |
