You Will Forget Me Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACAC DEFEGHGH GIGIAJAJ| You will forget me The years are so tender | A |
| They bind up the wounds which we think are so deep | B |
| This dream of our youth will fade out as the splendour | A |
| Fades from the skies when the sun sinks to sleep | B |
| The cloud of forgetfulness over and over | A |
| Will banish the last rosy colours away | C |
| And the fingers of time will weave garlands to cover | A |
| The scar which you think is a life mark today | C |
| - | |
| You will forget me The one boon you covet | D |
| Now above all things will soon seem no prize | E |
| And the heart which you hold not in keeping to prove it | F |
| True or untrue will lose worth in your eyes | E |
| The one drop to day that you deem only wanting | G |
| To fill your life cup to the brim soon will seem | H |
| But a valueless mite and the ghost that is haunting | G |
| The aisles of your heart will pass out with the dream | H |
| - | |
| You will forget me will thank me for saying | G |
| The words which you think are so pointed with pain | I |
| Time loves a new lay and the dirge he is playing | G |
| Will change for you soon to a livelier strain | I |
| I shall pass from your life I shall pass out forever | A |
| And these hours we have spent will be sunk in the past | J |
| Youth buries its dead grief kills seldom or never | A |
| And forgetfulness covers all sorrows at last | J |
