He Revisits His First School Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCC DCCDEEE FCCGHHH IJJIKKK

I should not have shown in the fleshA
I ought to have gone as a ghostB
It was awkward unseemly almostB
Standing solidly there as when freshA
Pink tiny crisp curledC
My pinions yet furledC
From the winds of the worldC
-
After waiting so many a yearD
To wait longer and go as a spriteC
From the tomb at the mid of some nightC
Was the right radiant way to appearD
Not as one wanzing weakE
From life's roar and reekE
His rest still to seekE
-
Yea beglimpsed through the quaint quarried glassF
Of green moonlight by me greener madeC
When they'd cry perhaps There sits his shadeC
In his olden haunt just as he wasG
When in Walkingame heH
Conned the grand Rule of ThreeH
With the bent of a beeH
-
But to show in the afternoon sunI
With an aspect of hollow eyed careJ
When none wished to see me come thereJ
Was a garish thing better undoneI
Yes wrong was the wayK
But yet let me sayK
I may right it some dayK
