Responsibilities - Closing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDFGHIHJIWhile I that reed throated whisperer | A |
Who comes at need although not now as once | B |
A clear articulation in the air | A |
But inwardly surmise companions | C |
Beyond the fling of the dull ass's hoof | D |
Ben Johnson's phrase and find when June is come | E |
At Kyle na no under that ancient roof | D |
A sterner conscience and a friendlier home | F |
I can forgive even that wrong of wrongs | G |
Those undreamt accidents that have made me | H |
Seeing that Fame has perished that long while | I |
Being but a part of ancient ceremony | H |
Notorious till all my priceless things | J |
Are but a post the passing dogs defile | I |
