I Would My Days Had Been In Other Times Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD AEFG AEHA AIJA| I would my days had been in other times | A |
| A moment in the long unnumbered years | B |
| That knew the sway of Horus and of hawk | C |
| In peaceful lands that border on the Nile | D |
| - | |
| I would my days had been in other times | A |
| Lulled by the sacrifice and mumbled hymn | E |
| Between the Five great Rivers or in shade | F |
| And shelter of the cool Himalayan hills | G |
| - | |
| I would my days had been in other times | A |
| That I in some old abbey of Touraine | E |
| Had watched the rounding grapes and lived my life | H |
| Ere ever Luther came or Rabelais | A |
| - | |
| I would my days had been in other times | A |
| When quiet life to death not terrible | I |
| Drifted as ashes of the Santhal dead | J |
| Drift down the sacred Rivers to the Sea | A |
