The Delights Of Mathematics Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBC ABABBCBC DBABBCBC BCBC| It seems a hundred years or more | A |
| Since I with note book ink and pen | B |
| In cap and gown first trod the floor | A |
| Which I have often trod since then | B |
| Yet well do I remember when | B |
| With fifty other fond fanatics | C |
| I sought delights beyond my ken | B |
| The deep delights of Mathematics | C |
| - | |
| I knew that two and two made four | A |
| I felt that five times two were ten | B |
| But as for all profounder lore | A |
| The robin redbreast or the wren | B |
| The sparrow whether cock or hen | B |
| Knew quite as much about Quadratics | C |
| Was less confused by x and n | B |
| The deep delights of Mathematics | C |
| - | |
| The Asses' Bridge I passed not o'er | D |
| I floundered in the noisome fen | B |
| Which lies behind it and before | A |
| I wandered in the gloomy glen | B |
| Where Surds and Factors have their den | B |
| But when I saw the pit of Statics | C |
| I said Good bye Farewell Amen | B |
| The deep delights of Mathematics | C |
| - | |
| O Bejants blessed beardless men | B |
| Who strive with Euclid in your attics | C |
| For worlds I would not taste again | B |
| The deep delights of Mathematics | C |
