A Relapse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCABADEFFDE| I thought that I had done with fleshly things | A |
| That in the azure of high thought my soul | B |
| Had learned to fly on less substantial wings | A |
| To a new Heaven a sublimer goal | B |
| I thought that I was wise beneath the cowl | C |
| Of my dead hopes beyond all power of Spring's | A |
| Most eloquent music to again cajole | B |
| And that my service was the King of Kings | A |
| But look alas how thoughtless thought can be | D |
| For to me thinking thus one ventured in | E |
| Bearing a letter and I read your name | F |
| Then in an instant through my limbs a flame | F |
| Of pleasure ran and wrought such change in me | D |
| That I was eager for all loveliest sin | E |
