In Youth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCEFF| Milton our noblest poet in the grace | A |
| Of youth in those fair eyes and clustering hair | B |
| That brow untouched by one faint line of care | B |
| To mar its openness we seem to trace | A |
| The front of the first lord of the human race | A |
| Mid thine own Paradise portrayed so fair | B |
| Ere Sin or Sorrow scathed it such the air | B |
| That characters thy youth Shall time efface | A |
| These lineaments as crowding cares assail | C |
| It is the lot of fallen humanity | D |
| What boots it armed in adamantine mail | C |
| The unconquerable mind and genius high | E |
| Right onward hold their way through weal and woe | F |
| Or whether life's brief lot be high or low | F |
