With An Identity Disc Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ACAC DEDEFF| If ever I dreamed of my dead name | A |
| High in the heart of London unsurpassed | B |
| By Time for ever and the Fugitive Fame | A |
| There seeking a long sanctuary at last | B |
| - | |
| I better that and recollect with shame | A |
| How once I longed to hide it from life's heats | C |
| Under those holy cypresses the same | A |
| That shade always the quiet place of Keats | C |
| - | |
| Now rather thank I God there is no risk | D |
| Of gravers scoring it with florid screed | E |
| But let my death be memoried on this disc | D |
| Wear it sweet friend Inscribe no date nor deed | E |
| But may thy heart beat kiss it night and day | F |
| Until the name grow vague and wear away | F |
