New And Old Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCA DEEDED| I and new love in all its living bloom | A |
| Sat vis vis while tender twilight hours | B |
| Went softly by us treading as on flowers | B |
| Then suddenly I saw within the room | A |
| The old love long since lying in its tomb | A |
| It dropped the cerecloth from its fleshless face | C |
| And smiled on me with a remembered grace | C |
| That like the noontide lit the gloaming gloom | A |
| - | |
| Upon its shroud there hung the grave s green mould | D |
| About it hung the odour of the dead | E |
| Yet from its cavernous eyes such light was shed | E |
| That all my life seemed gilded as with gold | D |
| Unto the trembling new love Go I said | E |
| I do not need thee for I have the old | D |
