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

March | G |
