To One Who Would Make A Confession Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACBABADEDEFF| Oh leave the past to buy its own dead | A |
| The past is naught to us the present all | B |
| What need of last year's leaves to strew Love's bed | A |
| What need of ghosts to grace a festival | C |
| I would not if I could those days recall | B |
| Those days not ours For us the feast is spread | A |
| The lamps are lit and music plays withal | B |
| Then let us love and leave the rest unsaid | A |
| This island is our home Around it roar | D |
| Great gulfs and oceans channels straits and seas | E |
| What matter in what wreck we reached the shore | D |
| So we both reached it We can mock at these | E |
| Oh leave the past if past indeed there be | F |
| I would not know it I would know but thee | F |
