Fleeting Embers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBD EFGFD HIJID KLMLD NOPOD| The memories are warm in the eye of the storm | A |
| I remember the days long ago | B |
| And the raindrops fall wet as the tears of regret | C |
| Dance through the air to and fro | B |
| And the nighttime grows cold when the daytime grows old | D |
| - | |
| The colours and shades of the penny arcades | E |
| Flash through my mind on a whim | F |
| And the mantra lives on though the music is gone | G |
| For the furore of then tends to dim | F |
| And the nighttime grows cold when the daytime grows old | D |
| - | |
| Was I ever so young when my springtime had sprung | H |
| Was I ever so short in the tooth | I |
| Was I ever so tall or really quite small | J |
| In the turbulent days of my youth | I |
| And the nighttime grows cold when the daytime grows old | D |
| - | |
| Words fall on deaf ears as the sun disappears | K |
| And the twilight now smothers the bright | L |
| Do the things that I say become withered away | M |
| In the fading and ebb of the light | L |
| And the nighttime grows cold when the daytime grows old | D |
| - | |
| So I lie in my bed with these thoughts in my head | N |
| And anamnesis visits my dreams | O |
| I forget how it was long ago then because | P |
| Forever they're gone so it seems | O |
| And the nighttime grows cold when the daytime grows old | D |
