Let Us Forget Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCC| Let us forget What matters it that we | A |
| Once reigned o'er happy realms of long ago | B |
| And talked of love and let our voices low | B |
| And ruled for some brief sessions royally | A |
| What if we sung or laughed or wept maybe | A |
| It has availed not anything and so | B |
| Let it go by that we may better know | B |
| How poor a thing is lost to you and me | A |
| But yesterday I kissed your lips and yet | C |
| Did thrill you not enough to shake the dew | D |
| From your drenched lids and missed with no regret | C |
| Your kiss shot back with sharp breaths failing you | D |
| And so to day while our worn eyes are wet | C |
| With all this waste of tears let us forget | C |
