At Oxford, 1786 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEEDFGGFHH| Bereave me not of Fancy's shadowy dreams | A |
| Which won my heart or when the gay career | B |
| Of life begun or when at times a tear | C |
| Sat sad on memory's cheek though loftier themes | A |
| Await the awakened mind to the high prize | D |
| Of wisdom hardly earned with toil and pain | E |
| Aspiring patient yet on life's wide plain | E |
| Left fatherless where many a wanderer sighs | D |
| Hourly and oft our road is lone and long | F |
| 'Twere not a crime should we a while delay | G |
| Amid the sunny field and happier they | G |
| Who as they journey woo the charm of song | F |
| To cheer their way till they forget to weep | H |
| And the tired sense is hushed and sinks to sleep | H |
