A New Pilgrimage: Sonnet Viii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBABCDEDEFG| I will sit down awhile in dalliance | A |
| With my dead life and dream that it is young | B |
| My earliest memories have their home in France | C |
| The chestnut woods of Bearn and streams among | B |
| Where first I learned to stammer the French tongue | B |
| Fair ancient France No railroad insolence | A |
| Had mixed her peoples then and still men clung | B |
| Each to his ways and viewed the world askance | C |
| We too as exiles from our northern shore | D |
| Surveyed things sparsely and my own child's scorn | E |
| Remained how long a rebel to all lore | D |
| Save its lost English nor was quite o'erborne | E |
| Till as I swore I'd speak no French frog's word | F |
| I swore in French and so laid down my sword | G |
