At My Fireside Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAAC DEDDDE| ALONE beneath the darkened sky | A |
| With saddened heart and unstrung lyre | B |
| I heap the spoils of years gone by | A |
| And leave them with a long drawn sigh | A |
| Like drift wood brands that glimmering lie | A |
| Before the ashes hide the fire | C |
| - | |
| Let not these slow declining days | D |
| The rosy light of dawn outlast | E |
| Still round my lonely hearth it plays | D |
| And gilds the east with borrowed rays | D |
| While memory's mirrored sunset blaze | D |
| Flames on the windows of the past | E |
