As We Look Back (rondeau) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCA AACD AACCAD| As we look back at our lost Used to Be | A |
| 'The light that never was on land or sea' | B |
| Touches the distant mountain peaks with gold | C |
| And through the glass of memory we behold | C |
| Such blossoms as grow not on any lea | A |
| - | |
| The double leaf upon the poplar tree | A |
| Turns up its silver side to you and me | A |
| And glow worm lanterns light the lonely wold | C |
| As we look back | D |
| - | |
| No sounds we hear but echoes of young glee | A |
| No winds we feel but west winds blowing free | A |
| From those fair isles that seem a thousandfold | C |
| More beautiful than in the days of old | C |
| And all the clouds that hang above them flee | A |
| As we look back | D |
