To A Friend, With An Unfinished Poem Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLLMNOPQRS TUVOHOKWXOBY Z| Thus far my scanty brain hath built the rhyme | A |
| Elaborate and swelling yet the heart | B |
| Not owns it From thy spirit breathing powers | C |
| I ask not now my friend the aiding verse | D |
| Tedious to thee and from thy anxious thought | E |
| Of dissonant mood In fancy well I know | F |
| From business wand'ring far and local cares | G |
| Thou creepest round a dear loved sister's bed | H |
| With noiseless step and watchest the faint look | I |
| Soothing each pang with fond solicitude | J |
| And tenderest tones medicinal of love | K |
| I too a sister had an only sister | L |
| She loved me dearly and I doted on her | L |
| To her I pour'd forth all my puny sorrows | M |
| As a sick patient in a nurse's arms | N |
| And of the heart those hidden maladies | O |
| That e'en from friendship's eye will shrink ashamed | P |
| O I have waked at midnight and have wept | Q |
| Because she was not Cheerily dear Charles | R |
| Thou thy best friend shalt cherish many a year | S |
| Such warm presages feel I of high hope | T |
| For not uninterested the dear maid | U |
| I've view'd her soul affectionate yet wise | V |
| Her polish'd wit as mild as lambent glories | O |
| That play around a sainted infant's head | H |
| He knows the Spirit that in secret sees | O |
| Of whose omniscient and all spreading love | K |
| Aught to implore were impotence of mind | W |
| That my mute thoughts are sad before his throne | X |
| Prepared when He his healing ray vouchsafes | O |
| Thanksgiving to pour forth with lifted heart | B |
| And praise him gracious with a brother's joy | Y |
