The Days Gone By Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBAA CCDDAA AAEEAA| O the days gone by O the days gone by | A |
| The apples in the orchard and the pathway through the rye | A |
| The chirrup of the robin and the whistle of the quail | B |
| As he piped across the meadows sweet as any nightingale | B |
| When the bloom was on the clover and the blue was in the sky | A |
| And my happy heart brimmed over in the days gone by | A |
| - | |
| In the days gone by when my naked feet were tripped | C |
| By the honey suckle's tangles where the water lilies dipped | C |
| And the ripples of the river lipped the moss along the brink | D |
| Where the placid eyed and lazy footed cattle came to drink | D |
| And the tilting snipe stood fearless of the truant's wayward cry | A |
| And the splashing of the swimmer in the days gone by | A |
| - | |
| O the days gone by O the days gone by | A |
| The music of the laughing lip the luster of the eye | A |
| The childish faith in fairies and Aladdin's magic ring | E |
| The simple soul reposing glad belief in everything | E |
| When life was like a story holding neither sob nor sigh | A |
| In the golden olden glory of the days gone by | A |
