Then And Now Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDDC EEEFGGGC| When my old heart was young my dear | A |
| The Earth and Heaven were so near | A |
| That in my dreams I oft could hear | B |
| The steps of unseen races | C |
| In woodlands where bright waters ran | D |
| On hills GOD'S rainbows used to span | D |
| I followed voices not of man | D |
| And smiled in spirit faces | C |
| - | |
| Now my old heart is old my sweet | E |
| No longer Earth and Heaven meet | E |
| All Life is grown to one long street | E |
| Where fact with fancy clashes | F |
| The voices now that speak to me | G |
| Are prose instead of poetry | G |
| And in the faces now I see | G |
| Is less of flame than ashes | C |
