Farewell To Verse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCACA DEDEFGHG IJIKLMNMIn youth when oft my muse was dumb | A |
My fancy nighly dead | B |
To make my inspiration come | A |
I stood upon my head | B |
And thus I let the blood down flow | C |
Into my cerebellum | A |
And published every Spring or so | C |
Slim tomes in vellum | A |
- | |
Alas I am rheumatic now | D |
Grey is my crown | E |
I can no more with brooding brow | D |
Stand upside down | E |
I fear I might in such a pose | F |
Burst brain blood vessel | G |
And that would be a woeful close | H |
To my rhyme wrestle | G |
- | |
If to write verse I must reverse | I |
I fear I'm stymied | J |
In ink of prose I must immerse | I |
A pen de rhym egrave d | K |
No more to spank the lyric lyre | L |
Like Keats or Browning | M |
May I inspire the Sacred Fire | N |
My Upside downing | M |
