To An Enthusiast Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDEYoung ardent soul graced with fair Nature's truth | A |
Spring warmth of heart and fervency of mind | B |
And still a large late love of all thy kind | B |
Spite of the world's cold practice and Time's tooth | A |
For all these gifts I know not in fair sooth | A |
Whether to give thee joy or bid thee blind | B |
Thine eyes with tears that thou hast not resign'd | B |
The passionate fire and freshness of thy youth | A |
For as the current of thy life shall flow | C |
Gilded by shine of sun or shadow stain'd | D |
Through flow'ry valley or unwholesome fen | E |
Thrice blessed in thy joy or in thy woe | C |
Thrice cursed of thy race thou art ordain'd | D |
To share beyond the lot of common men | E |
