Farewell To Verse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCACA DEDEFGHG IJIKLMNM| In 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 |
