New Year's Eve Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDFAnother full orbed year hath waned to day | A |
And set in the irrevocable past | B |
And headlong whirled long Time's winged blast | B |
My fluttering rose of youth is borne away | A |
Ah rose once crimson with the blood of May | A |
A honeyed haunt where bees would break their fast | B |
I watch thy scattering petals flee aghast | B |
And all the flickering rose lights turning grey | A |
- | |
Poor fool of life plagued ever with thy vain | C |
Regrets and futile longings were the years | D |
Not cups o'erbrimming still with gall and tears | E |
Let go thy puny personal joy and pain | C |
If youth with all its brief hope disappears | D |
To deathless hope we must be born again | F |
