When I Peruse The Conquer'd Fame Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIWHEN I peruse the conquer'd fame of heroes and the victories of | A |
mighty generals I do not envy the generals | B |
Nor the President in his Presidency nor the rich in his great house | C |
But when I hear of the brotherhood of lovers how it was with them | D |
How through life through dangers odium unchanging long and long | E |
Through youth and through middle and old age how unfaltering how | F |
affectionate and faithful they were | G |
Then I am pensive I hastily walk away fill'd with the bitterest | H |
envy | I |
