New Life, New Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIHJKLK IMNMFKFK| The breezes blow on the river below | A |
| And the fleecy clouds float high | B |
| And I mark how the dark green gum trees match | C |
| The bright blue dome of the sky | B |
| The rain has been and the grass is green | D |
| Where the slopes were bare and brown | E |
| And I see the things that I used to see | F |
| In the days ere my head went down | E |
| - | |
| I have found a light in my long dark night | G |
| Brighter than stars or moon | H |
| I have lost the fear of the sunset drear | I |
| And the sadness of afternoon | H |
| Here let us stand while I hold your hand | J |
| Where the light s on your golden head | K |
| Oh I feel the thrill that I used to feel | L |
| In the days ere my heart was dead | K |
| - | |
| The storm s gone by but my lips are dry | I |
| And the old wrong rankles yet | M |
| Sweetheart or wife I must take new life | N |
| From your red lips warm and wet | M |
| So let it be you may cling to me | F |
| There is nothing on earth to dread | K |
| For I ll be the man that I used to be | F |
| In the days ere my heart was dead | K |
