A Poet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EFGG H II| Attentive eyes fantastic heed | A |
| Assessing minds he does not need | A |
| Nor urgent writs to sup or dine | B |
| Nor pledges in the roseate wine | B |
| - | |
| For loud acclaim he does not care | C |
| By the august or rich or fair | C |
| Nor for smart pilgrims from afar | D |
| Curious on where his hauntings are | D |
| - | |
| But soon or later when you hear | E |
| That he has doffed this wrinkled gear | F |
| Some evening at the first star ray | G |
| Come to his graveside pause and say | G |
| - | |
| 'Whatever his message his to tell | H |
| Two thoughtful women loved him well ' | - |
| Stand and say that amid the dim | I |
| It will be praise enough for him | I |
