To Sir Walter Scott Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCADEFFFEE| Since last I saw that countenance so mild | A |
| Slow stealing age and a faint line of care | B |
| Had gently touched methought some features there | B |
| Yet looked the man as placid as a child | A |
| And the same voice whilst mingled with the throng | C |
| Unknowing and unknown we passed along | C |
| That voice a share of the brief time beguiled | A |
| That voice I ne'er may hear again I sighed | D |
| At parting wheresoe'er our various way | E |
| In this great world but from the banks of Tweed | F |
| As slowly sink the shades of eventide | F |
| Oh I shall hear the music of his reed | F |
| Far off and thinking of that voice shall say | E |
| A blessing rest upon thy locks of gray | E |
