To Cara, On The Dawning Of A New Year's Day Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDECC FFDGDG| When midnight came to close the year | A |
| We sighed to think it thus should take | B |
| The hours it gave us hours as dear | A |
| As sympathy and love could make | B |
| Their blessed moments every sun | C |
| Saw us my love more closely one | C |
| - | |
| But Cara when the dawn was nigh | D |
| Which came a new year's light to shed | E |
| That smile we caught from eye to eye | D |
| Told us those moments were not fled | E |
| Oh no we felt some future sun | C |
| Should see us still more closely one | C |
| - | |
| Thus may we ever side by side | F |
| From happy years to happier glide | F |
| And still thus may the passing sigh | D |
| We give to hours that vanish o'er us | G |
| Be followed by the smiling eye | D |
| That Hope shall shed on scenes before us | G |
