Temps Perdu Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH| I never may turn the loop of a road | A |
| Where sudden ahead the sea is lying | B |
| But my heart drags down with an ancient load | A |
| My heart that a second before was flying | B |
| - | |
| I never behold the quivering rain | C |
| And sweeter the rain than a lover to me | D |
| But my heart is wild in my breast with pain | C |
| My heart that was tapping contentedly | D |
| - | |
| There's never a rose spreads new at my door | E |
| Nor a strange bird crosses the moon at night | F |
| But I know I have known its beauty before | E |
| And a terrible sorrow along with the sight | F |
| - | |
| The look of a laurel tree birthed for May | G |
| Or a sycamore bared for a new November | H |
| Is as old and as sad as my furtherest day | G |
| What is it what is it I almost remember | H |
