A Memory Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF CCCC HIHI JIJI CKCK| Here while the loom of Winter weaves | A |
| The shroud of flowers and fountains | B |
| I think of thee and summer eves | A |
| Among the Northern mountains | B |
| - | |
| When thunder tolled the twilight's close | C |
| And winds the lake were rude on | D |
| And thou wert singing Ca' the Yowes | C |
| The bonny yowes of Cluden | D |
| - | |
| When close and closer hushing breath | E |
| Our circle narrowed round thee | F |
| And smiles and tears made up the wreath | G |
| Wherewith our silence crowned thee | F |
| - | |
| And strangers all we felt the ties | C |
| Of sisters and of brothers | C |
| Ah whose of all those kindly eyes | C |
| Now smile upon another's | C |
| - | |
| The sport of Time who still apart | H |
| The waifs of life is flinging | I |
| Oh nevermore shall heart to heart | H |
| Draw nearer for that singing | I |
| - | |
| Yet when the panes are frosty starred | J |
| And twilight's fire is gleaming | I |
| I hear the songs of Scotland's bard | J |
| Sound softly through my dreaming | I |
| - | |
| A song that lends to winter snows | C |
| The glow of summer weather | K |
| Again I hear thee ca' the yowes | C |
| To Cluden's hills of heather | K |
