My Childhood's Home Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACACDEFE GHGHIBIBJEKE| I HAVE tasted each varied pleasure | A |
| And drunk of the cup of delight | B |
| I have danced to the gayest measure | A |
| In the halls of dazzling light | B |
| I have dwelt in a blaze of splendour | A |
| And stood in the courts of kings | C |
| I have snatched at each toy that could render | A |
| More rapid the flight of Time's wings | C |
| But vainly I've sought for joy or peace | D |
| In that life of light and shade | E |
| And I turn with a sigh to my own dear home | F |
| The home where my childhood played | E |
| - | |
| When jewels are sparkling round me | G |
| And dazzling with their rays | H |
| I weep for the ties that bound me | G |
| In life's first early days | H |
| I sigh for one of the sunny hours | I |
| Ere day was turned to night | B |
| For one of my nosegays of fresh wild flowers | I |
| Instead of those jewels bright | B |
| I weep when I gaze on the scentless buds | J |
| Which never can bloom or fade | E |
| And I turn with a sigh to those gay green fields | K |
| The home where my childhood played | E |
