I Watch, And Long Have Watched, With Calm Regret Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBADEFEFD| I watch and long have watched with calm regret | A |
| Yon slowly sinking star immortal Sire | B |
| So might he seem of all the glittering quire | C |
| Blue ether still surrounds him yet and yet | A |
| But now the horizon's rocky parapet | A |
| Is reached where forfeiting his bright attire | B |
| He burns transmuted to a dusky fire | B |
| Then pays submissively the appointed debt | A |
| To the flying moments and is seen no more | D |
| Angels and gods We struggle with our fate | E |
| While health power glory from their height decline | F |
| Depressed and then extinguished and our state | E |
| In this how different lost Star from thine | F |
| That no to morrow shall our beams restore | D |
