When Once I Was Ten Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB BBCC CCDD DDEE EEFF FFAA| Where I lived when I was ten | A |
| I sometimes think of there and then | A |
| When I'm drowsing in my chair | B |
| My dozy thoughts go back to there | B |
| - | |
| I rest nearby a fireside glare | B |
| Glass in hand and here is where | B |
| I think of things I used to do | C |
| When I was merely eight and two | C |
| - | |
| This was when my world was new | C |
| In the hours before I grew | C |
| Out the door and down the way | D |
| This is where I used to play | D |
| - | |
| When all the words I used to say | D |
| Concerned such things as came that day | D |
| All the songs I used to sing | E |
| And all the joy that they would bring | E |
| - | |
| No more I live where I was king | E |
| Yet still the memories from there ring | E |
| I've been aside so long a time | F |
| Yet still the memories from there chime | F |
| - | |
| So as I dream of days sublime | F |
| As recollections higher climb | F |
| I sometimes now remember when | A |
| And how I wish that I was ten | A |
