Reminders Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF HIHI GJGJ| When in the early dawn I hear the thrushes | A |
| And like a flood of waters o'er my heart | B |
| The memory of another summer rushes | A |
| How can I rise up and perform my part | B |
| - | |
| When in the languid eve I hear the wailing | C |
| Of the uncomforted sad mourning dove | D |
| Whose grief like mine seems deep as unavailing | C |
| What will I do with all this wealth of love | D |
| - | |
| When the sweet rain falls over hills and meadows | E |
| And the tall poplar's silver leaves are wet | F |
| And like my soul the world seems draped in shadow | G |
| How shall I hush this passionate regret | F |
| - | |
| When the wild bee is wooing the red clover | H |
| And the fair rose smiles on the butterfly | I |
| Missing thy smile and kiss O love my lover | H |
| Who on God's earth so desolate as I | I |
| - | |
| My tortured senses new despair will borrow | G |
| From those reminders of a vanished day | J |
| That was as full of joy as this of sorrow | G |
| O beautiful sad summer keep away | J |
