The Sequel To A Reminiscence Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FGFG HIHI JKJJK| Not in the street and not in the square | A |
| The street and square where you went and came | B |
| With shuttered casement your house stands bare | A |
| Men hush their voice when they speak your name | B |
| - | |
| I too can play at the vain pretence | C |
| Can feign you dead while a voice sounds clear | D |
| In the inmost depths of my heart Go hence | C |
| Go find your friend who is far from here | E |

| Not here but somewhere where I can reach | F |
| Can a man with motion hearing and sight | G |
| And a thought that answered my thought and speech | F |
| Be utterly lost and vanished quite | G |
| - | |
| Whose hand was warm in my hand last week | H |
| My heart beat fast as I neared the gate | I |
| Was it this I had come to seek | H |
| A stone that stared with your name and date | I |
| - | |
| A hideous turfless fresh made mound | J |
| A silence more cold than the wind that blew | K |
| What had I lost and what had I found | J |
| My flowers that mocked me fell to the ground | J |
| Then and then only my spirit knew | K |
