Toward The Close Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Time grows upon us until we exhaust | A |
| Hope's possibilities and then we die | B |
| Who thus of life each make a holocaust | A |
| Till all we have in nature is put by | B |
| No one survives himself and none can so | C |
| Reclaim the sentiment of youth that he | D |
| Would like a fallen leaf re budded grow | C |
| On the bare bough of joy's mortality | D |
| Oh in what charms may death himself reveal | E |
| When the life instinct turns at last to him | F |
| For supreme succour for the power to heal | E |
| That sickness of our days when all grows dim | F |
| More fragrant then than roses sweeter far | G |
| The airs that come from the old darkness are | G |
