Languid, And Sad, And Slow, From Day To Day Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEEE| Languid and sad and slow from day to day | A |
| I journey on yet pensive turn to view | B |
| Where the rich landscape gleams with softer hue | B |
| The streams and vales and hills that steal away | A |
| So fares it with the children of the earth | C |
| For when life's goodly prospect opens round | D |
| Their spirits beat to tread that fairy ground | D |
| Where every vale sounds to the pipe of mirth | C |
| But them vain hope and easy youth beguiles | E |
| And soon a longing look like me they cast | F |
| Back on the pleasing prospect of the past | F |
| Yet Fancy points where still far onward smiles | E |
| Some sunny spot and her fair colouring blends | E |
| Till cheerless on their path the night descends | E |
