Like One Who, Doomed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG HIHI| Like one who doomed o'er distant seas | A |
| His weary path to measure | B |
| When home at length with favoring breeze | A |
| He brings the far sought treasure | B |
| - | |
| His ship in sight of shore goes down | C |
| That shore to which he hasted | D |
| And all the wealth he thought his own | E |
| Is o'er the waters wasted | D |
| - | |
| Like him this heart thro' many a track | F |
| Of toil and sorrow straying | G |
| One hope alone brought fondly back | F |
| Its toil and grief repaying | G |
| - | |
| Like him alas I see that ray | H |
| Of hope before me perish | I |
| And one dark minute sweep away | H |
| What years were given to cherish | I |
