History Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGFH IJ| Time has stored all but keeps his chronicle | A |
| In secret beyond all our probe or gauge | B |
| There flows the human story vast and full | C |
| And here a muddy trickle smears the page | B |
| - | |
| The things our hearts remember make a sound | D |
| So faint so loud the menace and applause | E |
| The gleaners come with eyes upon the ground | D |
| After Oblivion's harvest picking straws | E |
| - | |
| What is man if this only has told his tale | F |
| For whom ruin and blunder mark the years | G |
| Whom continent shadowing conquerors regale | F |
| To surfeiting with glory of blood and tears | H |
| - | |
| He flaunts his folly and woe in a proud dress | I |
| But writes no history of his happiness | J |
