He Revisits His First School Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCC DCCDEEE FCCGHHH IJJIKKKI should not have shown in the flesh | A |
I ought to have gone as a ghost | B |
It was awkward unseemly almost | B |
Standing solidly there as when fresh | A |
Pink tiny crisp curled | C |
My pinions yet furled | C |
From the winds of the world | C |
- | |
After waiting so many a year | D |
To wait longer and go as a sprite | C |
From the tomb at the mid of some night | C |
Was the right radiant way to appear | D |
Not as one wanzing weak | E |
From life's roar and reek | E |
His rest still to seek | E |
- | |
Yea beglimpsed through the quaint quarried glass | F |
Of green moonlight by me greener made | C |
When they'd cry perhaps There sits his shade | C |
In his olden haunt just as he was | G |
When in Walkingame he | H |
Conned the grand Rule of Three | H |
With the bent of a bee | H |
- | |
But to show in the afternoon sun | I |
With an aspect of hollow eyed care | J |
When none wished to see me come there | J |
Was a garish thing better undone | I |
Yes wrong was the way | K |
But yet let me say | K |
I may right it some day | K |
