A Reminiscence Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACACACA| The rose to the wind has yielded all its leaves | A |
| Lie strewn on the graveyard grass and all their light | B |
| And colour and fragrance leave our sense and sight | B |
| Bereft as a man whom bitter time bereaves | A |
| Of blossom at once and hope of garnered sheaves | A |
| Of April at once and August Day to night | B |
| Calls wailing and life to death and depth to height | B |
| And soul upon soul of man that hears and grieves | A |
| Who knows though he see the snow cold blossom shed | C |
| If haply the heart that burned within the rose | A |
| The spirit in sense the life of life be dead | C |
| If haply the wind that slays with storming snows | A |
| Be one with the wind that quickens Bow thine head | C |
| O Sorrow and commune with thine heart who knows | A |
