George Meredith Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABA BCB CDC DED EFE FEF| Forty years back when much had place | A |
| That since has perished out of mind | B |
| I heard that voice and saw that face | A |
| - | |
| He spoke as one afoot will wind | B |
| A morning horn ere men awake | C |
| His note was trenchant turning kind | B |
| - | |
| He was one of those whose wit can shake | C |
| And riddle to the very core | D |
| The counterfiets that Time will break | C |
| - | |
| Of late when we two met once more | D |
| The luminous countenance and rare | E |
| Shone just as forty years before | D |
| - | |
| So that when now all tongues declare | E |
| His shape unseen by his green hill | F |
| I scarce believe he sits not there | E |
| - | |
| No matter Further and further still | F |
| Through the world's vaprous vitiate air | E |
| His words wing on as live words will | F |
