A Confession To A Friend In Trouble Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDDC ECFEGG| Your troubles shrink not though I feel them less | A |
| Here far away than when I tarried near | B |
| I even smile old smiles with listlessness | A |
| Yet smiles they are not ghastly mockeries mere | B |
| - | |
| A thought too strange to house within my brain | C |
| Haunting its outer precincts I discern | D |
| That I will not show zeal again to learn | D |
| Your griefs and sharing them renew my pain | C |
| - | |
| It goes like murky bird or buccaneer | E |
| That shapes its lawless figure on the main | C |
| And each new impulse tends to make outflee | F |
| The unseemly instinct that had lodgment here | E |
| Yet comrade old can bitterer knowledge be | G |
| Than that though banned such instinct was in me | G |
