The Last Memory Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFFGHIIJJKKLL MM| When I am old and think of the old days | A |
| And warm my hands before a little blaze | A |
| Having forgotten love hope fear desire | B |
| I shall see smiling out of the pale fire | B |
| One face mysterious and exquisite | C |
| And I shall gaze and ponder over it | D |
| Wondering was it Leonardo wrought | E |
| That stealthy ardency where passionate thought | E |
| Burns inward a revealing flame and glows | F |
| To the last ecstasy which is repose | F |
| Was it Bronzino whose Borghese eyes | G |
| And musing thus among my memories | H |
| O unforgotten you will come to seem | I |
| As pictures do remembered some old dream | I |
| And I shall think of you as something strange | J |
| And beautiful and full of helpless change | J |
| Which I beheld and carried in my heart | K |
| But you I loved will have become a part | K |
| Of the eternal mystery and love | L |
| Like a dim pain and I shall bend above | L |
| My little fire and shiver being cold | M |
| When you are no more young and I am old | M |
