Departed Days Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEF GHBHIJKJ| Yes dear departed cherished days | A |
| Could Memory s hand restore | B |
| Your morning light your evening rays | A |
| From Time s gray urn once more | B |
| Then might this restless heart be still | C |
| This straining eye might close | D |
| And Hope her fainting pinions fold | E |
| While the fair phantoms rose | F |
| - | |
| But like a child in ocean s arms | G |
| We strive against the stream | H |
| Each moment farther from the shore | B |
| Where life s young fountains gleam | H |
| Each moment fainter wave the fields | I |
| And wider rolls the sea | J |
| The mist grows dark the sun goes down | K |
| Day breaks and where are we | J |
