New-year's Eve Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHIHJKLK MNIN OFPFJQJQMJIJIJ| Good old days dear old days | A |
| When my heart beat high and bold | B |
| When the things of earth seemed full of life | C |
| And the future a haze of gold | B |
| Oh merry was I that winter night | D |
| And gleeful our little one's din | E |
| And tender the grace of my darling's face | F |
| As we watched the new year in | E |
| But a voice a spectre's that mocked at love | G |
| Came out of the yonder hall | H |
| Tick tock tick tock 't was the solemn clock | I |
| That ruefully croaked to all | H |
| Yet what knew we of the griefs to be | J |
| In the year we longed to greet | K |
| Love love was the theme of the sweet sweet dream | L |
| I fancied might never fleet | K |
| - | |
| But the spectre stood in that yonder gloom | M |
| And these were the words it spake | N |
| Tick tock tick tock and they seemed to mock | I |
| A heart about to break | N |
| - | |
| 'T is new year's eve and again I watch | O |
| In the old familiar place | F |
| And I'm thinking again of that old time when | P |
| I looked on a dear one's face | F |
| Never a little one hugs my knee | J |
| And I hear no gleeful shout | Q |
| I am sitting alone by the old hearthstone | J |
| Watching the old year out | Q |
| But I welcome the voice in yonder gloom | M |
| That solemnly calls to me | J |
| Tick tock tick tock for so the clock | I |
| Tells of a life to be | J |
| Tick tock tick tock 'tis so the clock | I |
| Tells of eternity | J |
