On Leaving Winchester School Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDC BEBEFFGHHI| The spring shall visit thee again | A |
| Itchin and yonder ancient fane | B |
| That casts its shadow on thy breast | C |
| As if by many winters beat | D |
| The blooming season it would greet | D |
| With many a straggling wild flower shall be dressed | C |
| - | |
| But I amid the youthful train | B |
| That stray at evening by thy side | E |
| No longer shall a guest remain | B |
| To mark the spring's reviving pride | E |
| I go not unrejoicing but who knows | F |
| When I have shared O world thy common woes | F |
| Returning I may drop some natural tears | G |
| As these same fields I look around | H |
| And hear from yonder dome the slow bell sound | H |
| And think upon the joys that crowned my stripling years | I |
