To Edward Clodd Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEFFE| Friend in whose friendship I am twice well starred | A |
| A debt not time may cancel is your due | B |
| For was it not your praise that earliest drew | B |
| On me obscure that chivalrous regard | A |
| Ev'n his who knowing fame's first steep how hard | A |
| With generous lips no faltering clarion blew | B |
| Bidding men hearken to a lyre by few | B |
| Heeded nor grudge the bay to one more bard | A |
| Bitter the task year by inglorious year | C |
| Of suitor at the world's reluctant ear | D |
| One cannot sing for ever like a bird | E |
| For sole delight of singing Him his mate | F |
| Suffices listening with a heart elate | F |
| Nor more his joy if all the rapt heav'n heard | E |
