Preface To Poems By Samuel Rogers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFFGGFFHHDE| Oh could my Mind unfolded in my page | A |
| Enlighten climes and mould a future age | A |
| There as it glow'd with noblest frenzy fraught | B |
| Dispense the treasures of exalted thought | B |
| To Virtue wake the pulses of the heart | C |
| And bid the tear of emulation start | C |
| Oh could it still thro' each succeeding year | D |
| My life my manners and my name endear | E |
| And when the poet sleeps in silent dust | F |
| Still hold communion with the wise and just | F |
| Yet should this Verse my leisure's best resource | G |
| When thro' the world it steals its secret course | G |
| Revive but once a generous wish supprest | F |
| Chase but a sigh or charm a care to rest | F |
| In one good deed a fleeting hour employ | H |
| Or flush one faded cheek with honest joy | H |
| Blest were my lines tho' limited their sphere | D |
| Tho' short their date as his who trac'd them here | E |
