The Fugitive Ideal Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCD EFEFGG| As some most pure and noble face | A |
| Seen in the thronged and hurrying street | B |
| Sheds o'er the world a sudden grace | A |
| A flying odour sweet | B |
| Then passing leaves the cheated sense | C |
| Baulked with a phantom excellence | D |
| - | |
| So on our soul the visions rise | E |
| Of that fair life we never led | F |
| They flash a splendour past our eyes | E |
| We start and they are fled | F |
| They pass and leave us with blank gaze | G |
| Resigned to our ignoble days | G |
