The Glimpse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| Just for a day you crossed my life's dull track | A |
| Put my ignobler dreams to sudden shame | B |
| Went your bright way and left me to fall back | A |
| On my own world of poorer deed and aim | B |
| - | |
| To fall back on my meaner world and feel | C |
| Like one who dwelling 'mid some smoke dimmed town | D |
| In a brief pause of labour's sullen wheel | C |
| 'Scaped from the street's dead dust and factory's frown | D |
| - | |
| In stainless daylight saw the pure seas roll | E |
| Saw mountains pillaring the perfect sky | F |
| Then journeyed home to carry in his soul | E |
| The torment of the difference till he die | F |
