Memory Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDCEECFFC GGHEEH EEIJJI KKLMML KKFNNF JJOPPO AAOJJO QBrightly the sun of summer shone | A |
Green fields and waving woods upon | B |
And soft winds wandered by | C |
Above a sky of purest blue | D |
Around bright flowers of loveliest hue | D |
Allured the gazer's eye | C |
But what were all these charms to me | E |
When one sweet breath of memory | E |
Came gently wafting by | C |
I closed my eyes against the day | F |
And called my willing soul away | F |
From earth and air and sky | C |
- | |
That I might simply fancy there | G |
One little flower a primrose fair | G |
Just opening into sight | H |
As in the days of infancy | E |
An opening primrose seemed to me | E |
A source of strange delight | H |
- | |
Sweet Memory ever smile on me | E |
Nature's chief beauties spring from thee | E |
Oh still thy tribute bring | I |
Still make the golden crocus shine | J |
Among the flowers the most divine | J |
The glory of the spring | I |
- | |
Still in the wall flower's fragrance dwell | K |
And hover round the slight blue bell | K |
My childhood's darling flower | L |
Smile on the little daisy still | M |
The buttercup's bright goblet fill | M |
With all thy former power | L |
- | |
For ever hang thy dreamy spell | K |
Round mountain star and heather bell | K |
And do not pass away | F |
From sparkling frost or wreathed snow | N |
And whisper when the wild winds blow | N |
Or rippling waters play | F |
- | |
Is childhood then so all divine | J |
Or Memory is the glory thine | J |
That haloes thus the past | O |
Not all divine its pangs of grief | P |
Although perchance their stay be brief | P |
Are bitter while they last | O |
- | |
Nor is the glory all thine own | A |
For on our earliest joys alone | A |
That holy light is cast | O |
With such a ray no spell of thine | J |
Can make our later pleasures shine | J |
Though long ago they passed | O |
- | |
