Haec Olim Meminisse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEGHIIIJKJK LBMB| FEBRILE perfumes as of faded roses | A |
| In the old house speak of love to day | B |
| Love long past and where the soft day closes | A |
| Down the west gleams golden red a ray | B |
| Pointing where departed splendor perished | C |
| And the path that night shall walk and hang | D |
| On blue boughs of heaven gold long cherished | C |
| Fruit Hesperian that the ancients sang | D |
| And to him who sits there dreaming musing | E |
| At the window in the twilight wan | F |
| Like old scent of roses interfusing | E |
| Comes a vision of a day that's gone | G |
| And he sees Youth walking brave but dimly | H |
| 'Mid the roses in the afterglow | I |
| And beside him like a star seen slimly | I |
| Love who used to meet him long ago | I |
| And again he seems to hear the flowers | J |
| Whispering faintly of what no one knows | K |
| Of the dreams they dreamed there for long hours | J |
| Youth and Love between their hearts a rose | K |
| Youth is dead and Love oh where departed | L |
| Like the last streak of the dying day | B |
| Somewhere yonder in a world uncharted | M |
| Calling him with memories away | B |
