The Passing Of The Elder Bards Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIJ KLAL AMNO| THE MIGHTY Minstrel breathes no longer | A |
| Mid mouldering ruins low he lies | B |
| And death upon the braes of Yarrow | C |
| Has closed the Shepherd poet s eyes | B |
| - | |
| Nor has the rolling year twice measured | D |
| From sign to sign its steadfast course | E |
| Since every mortal power of Coleridge | F |
| Was frozen at its marvellous source | E |
| - | |
| The rapt One of the godlike forehead | G |
| The heaven eyed creature sleeps in earth | H |
| And Lamb the frolic and the gentle | I |
| Has vanished from his lonely hearth | J |
| - | |
| Like clouds that rake the mountain summits | K |
| Or waves that own no curbing hand | L |
| How fast has brother followed brother | A |
| From sunshine to the sunless land | L |
| - | |
| Yet I whose lids from infant slumber | A |
| Were earlier raised remain to hear | M |
| A timid voice that asks in whispers | N |
| Who next will drop and disappear | O |
