A Protean Glimpse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCAADDEFEFGGHHIJKK| Time and I pass to and fro | A |
| Hardly greeting as we go | A |
| Go askant like crossing wings | B |
| Of sea gulls where the brave sea sings | B |
| - | |
| Time the messenger of Fate | C |
| Cunning master of debate | C |
| Cunning soother of all sorrow | A |
| Ruthless robber of to morrow | A |
| Tyrant to our dallying feet | D |
| Though patron of a life complete | D |
| Like Puck upon a rosy cloud | E |
| He rides to distance while we woo him | F |
| Like pale Remorse wrapped in a shroud | E |
| He brings the world in sackcloth to him | F |
| O dimly seen and often met | G |
| As shadowings of a wild regret | G |
| O king of us yet feebly served | H |
| Dispenser of the dooms reserved | H |
| So silent at the folly done | I |
| So deadly when our respite's gone | J |
| As sea gulls slanting cross at sea | K |
| So cross our rapid flights with thee | K |
