Irene Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDE FGHGII JKLKMM NOPOQR| The years are slowly creeping on | A |
| Beneath the summer sun | B |
| Yet still in silent love and peace | C |
| Our lives serenely run | B |
| Beyond the mist that veils the coming years | D |
| I see no gathering clouds nor falling tears | E |
| - | |
| Beside life's river we have stood | F |
| And lingered side by side | G |
| Where royal roses bloomed and blushed | H |
| And gleamed the lily's pride | G |
| And happily there we've plucked the sweet wild flowers | I |
| while heedless passed away the sunny hours | I |
| - | |
| Irene thy sunny face is lit | J |
| With all the hope of youth | K |
| God grant thy heart may never know | L |
| Aught but the purest truth | K |
| Keep in thy soul its faith and trusting love | M |
| Until they e'en must bloom in heaven above | M |
| - | |
| Beside the river still we stay | N |
| And swift the hours fly by | O |
| While low upon the fragrant banks | P |
| The flowers silent lie | O |
| Yet far beyond the mist our longing eyes | Q |
| Still seek the gleaming walls of paradise | R |
