Memory Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDF GHGH IFIF JKJF| Sweet memory like a pleasing dream | A |
| Still lends a dull and feeble ray | B |
| For ages with her vestige teems | C |
| When beauty's trace is worn away | B |
| - | |
| When pleasure with her harps unstrung | D |
| Sits silent to be heard no more | E |
| Or leaves them on the willows hung | D |
| And pass time glee forever o'er | F |
| - | |
| Still back in smiles thy glory steals | G |
| With ev'ning dew drops from thine eye | H |
| The twilight bursting from thy wheels | G |
| Ascends and bids oblivion fly | H |
| - | |
| Memory thy bush prevails to bloom | I |
| Design'd to fade no never never | F |
| Will stamp thy vestige on the tomb | I |
| And bid th' immortal live forever | F |
| - | |
| When youth's bright sun has once declined | J |
| And bid his smiling day expire | K |
| Mem'ry thy torch steals up behind | J |
| And sets thy hidden stars on fire | F |
