To M. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHH| IF in the summer of thy bright regard | A |
| For one brief season these poor Rhymes shall live | B |
| I ask no more nor think my fate too hard | A |
| If other eyes but wintry looks should give | C |
| Nor will I grieve though what I here have writ | D |
| O er burdened Time should drop among the ways | E |
| And to the unremembering dust commit | D |
| Beyond the praise and blame of other days | E |
| The song doth pass but I who sing remain | F |
| I pluck from Death s own heart a life more deep | G |
| And as the Spring that dies not in her train | F |
| Doth scatter blossoms for the Winds to reap | G |
| So I immortal as I fare along | H |
| Will strew my path with mortal flowers of song | H |
