Incomplete Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDCED FGFFG HIHHI| The summer is just in its grandest prime | A |
| The earth is green and the skies are blue | B |
| But where is the lilt of the olden time | A |
| When life was a melody set to rhyme | A |
| And dreams were so real they all seemed true | B |
| - | |
| There is sun on the meadow and blooms on the bushes | C |
| And never a bird but is mad with glee | D |
| But the pulse that bounds and the blood that rushes | C |
| And the hope that soars and the joy that gushes | E |
| Are lost for ever to you and me | D |
| - | |
| There are dawns of amber and amethyst | F |
| There are purple mountains and pale pink seas | G |
| That flush to crimson where skies have kist | F |
| But out of life there is something missed | F |
| Something better than all of these | G |
| - | |
| We miss the faces we used to know | H |
| The smiling lips and the eyes of truth | I |
| We miss the beauty and warmth and glow | H |
| Of the love that brightened our long ago | H |
| And ah we miss our youth | I |
