Fleeting Embers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBD EFGFD HIJID KLMLD NOPODThe 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 |
