Let's Take This World As Some Wide Scene. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFGFHDH DIJIJKLKL| Let's take this world as some wide scene | A |
| Thro' which in frail but buoyant boat | B |
| With skies now dark and now serene | A |
| Together thou and I must float | B |
| Beholding oft on either shore | C |
| Bright spots where we should love to stay | D |
| But Time plies swift his flying oar | C |
| And away we speed away away | D |
| - | |
| Should chilling winds and rains come on | E |
| We'll raise our awning 'gainst the shower | F |
| Sit closer till the storm is gone | G |
| And smiling wait a sunnier hour | F |
| And if that sunnier hour should shine | H |
| We'll know its brightness cannot stay | D |
| But happy while 'tis thine and mine | H |
| - | |
| Complain not when it fades away | D |
| So shall we reach at last that Fall | I |
| Down which life's currents all must go | J |
| The dark the brilliant destined all | I |
| To sink into the void below | J |
| Nor even that hour shall want its charms | K |
| If side by side still fond we keep | L |
| And calmly in each other's arms | K |
| Together linked go down the steep | L |
