Then And Now Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGH| Beneath her window in the fragrant night | A |
| I half forget how truant years have flown | B |
| Since I looked up to see her chamber light | A |
| Or catch perchance her slender shadow thrown | B |
| Upon the casement but the nodding leaves | C |
| Sweep lazily across the unlit pane | D |
| And to and fro beneath the shadowy eaves | C |
| Like restless birds the breath of coming rain | D |
| Creeps lilac laden up the village street | E |
| When all is still as if the very trees | F |
| Were listening for the coming of her feet | E |
| That come no more yet lest I weep the breeze | F |
| Sings some forgotten song of those old years | G |
| Until my heart grows far too glad for tears | H |
