Yesterday Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGDGH IJIJKDK LMLMNDND OPOPQDQD| I've trod the links with many a man | A |
| And played him club for club | B |
| 'Tis scarce a year since I began | A |
| And I am still a dub | B |
| But this I've noticed as we strayed | C |
| Along the bunkered way | D |
| No one with me has ever played | C |
| As he did yesterday | D |
| It makes no difference what the drive | E |
| Together as we walk | F |
| Till we up to the ball arrive | E |
| I get the same old talk | F |
| 'To day there's something wrong with me | G |
| Just what I cannot say | D |
| Would you believe I got a three | G |
| For this hole yesterday ' | H |
| - | |
| I see them top and slice a shot | I |
| And fail to follow through | J |
| And with their brassies plough the lot | I |
| The very way I do | J |
| To six and seven their figures run | K |
| And then they sadly say | D |
| 'I neither dubbed nor foozled one | K |
| When I played yesterday ' | - |
| - | |
| I have no yesterdays to count | L |
| No good work to recall | M |
| Each morning sees hope proudly mount | L |
| Each evening sees it fall | M |
| And in the locker room at night | N |
| When men discuss their play | D |
| I hear them and I wish I might | N |
| Have seen them yesterday | D |
| - | |
| Oh dear old yesterday What store | O |
| Of joys for men you hold | P |
| I'm sure there is no day that's more | O |
| Remembered or extolled | P |
| I'm off my task myself a bit | Q |
| My mind has run astray | D |
| I think perhaps I should have writ | Q |
| These verses yesterday | D |
