Oh, Banquet Not Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGFGHIHI| Oh banquet not in those shining bowers | A |
| Where Youth resorts but come to me | B |
| For mine's a garden of faded flowers | A |
| More fit for sorrow for age and thee | B |
| And there we shall have our feast of tears | C |
| And many a cup in silence pour | D |
| Our guests the shades of former years | E |
| Our toasts to lips that bloom no more | D |
| - | |
| There while the myrtle's withering boughs | F |
| Their lifeless leaves around us shed | G |
| We'll brim the bowl to broken vows | F |
| To friends long lost the changed the dead | G |
| Or while some blighted laurel waves | H |
| Its branches o'er the dreary spot | I |
| We'll drink to those neglected graves | H |
| Where valour sleeps unnamed forgot | I |
