The Poets Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| When this young Land has reached its wrinkled prime | A |
| And we are gone and all our songs are done | B |
| And naught is left unchanged beneath the sun | B |
| What other singers shall the womb of Time | A |
| Bring forth to reap the sunny slopes of rhyme | A |
| For surely till the thread of life be spun | B |
| The world shall not lack poets though but one | B |
| Make lonely music like a vesper chime | A |
| Above the heedless turmoil of the street | C |
| What new strange voices shall be given to these | D |
| What richer accents of melodious breath | E |
| Yet shall they baffled lie at Nature's feet | C |
| Searching the volume of her mysteries | D |
| And vainly question the fixed eyes of Death | E |
