Memory Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CDCDCD DEDEDE FGFGFG BBBBBB| I stood and watched him playing | A |
| A little lad of three | B |
| And back to me came straying | A |
| The years that used to be | B |
| In him the boy was Maying | A |
| Who once belonged to me | B |
| - | |
| The selfsame brown his eyes were | C |
| As those that once I knew | D |
| As glad and gay his cries were | C |
| He owned his laughter too | D |
| His features form and size were | C |
| My baby's through and through | D |
| - | |
| His ears were those I'd sung to | D |
| His chubby little hands | E |
| Were those that I had clung to | D |
| His hair in golden strands | E |
| It seemed my heart was strung to | D |
| By love's unbroken bands | E |
| - | |
| With him I lived the old days | F |
| That seem so far away | G |
| The beautiful and bold days | F |
| When he was here to play | G |
| The sunny and the gold days | F |
| Of that remembered May | G |
| - | |
| I know not who he may be | B |
| Nor where his home may be | B |
| But I shall every day be | B |
| In hope again to see | B |
| The image of the baby | B |
| Who once belonged to me | B |
