One Day Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDABC EFEFGFGG HIJKLMHM| I will tell you when they met | A |
| In the limpid days of Spring | B |
| Elder boughs were budding yet | A |
| Oaken boughs looked wintry still | C |
| But primrose and veined violet | D |
| In the mossful turf were set | A |
| While meeting birds made haste to sing | B |
| And build with right good will | C |
| - | |
| I will tell you when they parted | E |
| When plenteous Autumn sheaves were brown | F |
| Then they parted heavy hearted | E |
| The full rejoicing sun looked down | F |
| As grand as in the days before | G |
| Only they had lost a crown | F |
| Only to them those days of yore | G |
| Could come back nevermore | G |
| - | |
| When shall they meet I cannot tell | H |
| Indeed when they shall meet again | I |
| Except some day in Paradise | J |
| For this they wait one waits in pain | K |
| Beyond the sea of death love lies | L |
| Forever yesterday to day | M |
| Angels shall ask them Is it well | H |
| And they shall answer Yea | M |
