I Vex Me Not With Brooding On The Years Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBADEFDEF| I vex me not with brooding on the years | A |
| That were ere I drew breath why should I then | B |
| Distrust the darkness that may fall again | B |
| When life is done Perchance in other spheres | A |
| Dead planets I once tasted mortal tears | C |
| And walked as now among a throng of men | B |
| Pondering things that lay beyond my ken | B |
| Questioning death and solacing my fears | A |
| Offtimes indeed strange sense I have of this | D |
| Vague memories that hold me with a spell | E |
| Touches of unseen lips upon my brow | F |
| Breathing some incommunicable bliss | D |
| In years foregone O soul was all not well | E |
| Still lovelier life awaits thee Fear not thou | F |
