Fifty Years Apart Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHAH IJAJ DDKD LMNM

They sit in the winter gloamingA
And the fire burns bright betweenB
One has passed seventy summersC
And the other just seventeenB
-
They rest in a happy silenceD
As the shadows deepen fastE
One lives in a coming futureF
And one in a long long pastE
-
Each dreams of a rush of musicG
And a question whispered lowH
One will hear it this eveningA
One heard it long agoH
-
Each dreams of a loving husbandI
Whose brave heart is hers aloneJ
For one the joy is comingA
For one the joy has flownJ
-
Each dreams of a life of gladnessD
Spent under the sunny skiesD
And both the hope and the memoryK
Shine in the happy eyesD
-
Who knows which dream is the brightestL
And who knows which is the bestM
The sorrow and joy are mingledN
But only the end is restM
