Dear Is The Memory Of Our Wedded Lives Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDCEDFEFGHGIJHJKLDear is the memory of our wedded lives | A |
And dear the last embraces of our wives | B |
And their warm tears but all hath suffer'd change | C |
For surely now our household hearths are cold | D |
Our sons inherit us our looks are strange | C |
And we should come like ghosts to trouble joy | E |
Or else the island princes over bold | D |
Have eat our substance and the minstrel sings | F |
Before them of the ten years' war in Troy | E |
And our great deeds as half forgotten things | F |
Is there confusion in the little isle | G |
Let what is broken so remain | H |
The Gods are hard to reconcile | G |
'T is hard to settle order once again | I |
There is confusion worse than death | J |
Trouble on trouble pain on pain | H |
Long labor unto aged breath | J |
Sore task to hearts worn out by many wars | K |
And eyes grown dim with gazing on the pilot stars | L |
Alfred Lord Tennyson
