Interlude Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ACAC ADAD AEAE| The days grow shorter the nights grow longer | A |
| The headstones thicken along the way | B |
| And life grows sadder but love grows stronger | A |
| For those who walk with us day by day | B |
| - | |
| The tear comes quicker the laugh comes slower | A |
| The courage is lesser to do and dare | C |
| And the tide of joy in the heart falls lower | A |
| And seldom covers the reefs of care | C |
| - | |
| But all true things in the world seem truer | A |
| And the better things of earth seem best | D |
| And friends are dearer as friends are fewer | A |
| And love is ALL as our sun dips west | D |
| - | |
| Then let us clasp hands as we walk together | A |
| And let us speak softly in love's sweet tone | E |
| For no man knows on the morrow whether | A |
| We two pass on or but one alone | E |
