The Change Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CACA DBDB EFEF| Love used to carry a bow you know | A |
| But now he carries a taper | B |
| It is either a length of wax aglow | A |
| Or a twist of lighted paper | B |
| - | |
| I pondered a little about the scamp | C |
| And then I decided to follow | A |
| His wandering journey to field and camp | C |
| Up hill down dale or hollow | A |
| - | |
| I dogged the rollicking gay young blade | D |
| In every species of weather | B |
| Till leading me straight to the home of a maid | D |
| He left us there together | B |
| - | |
| And then I saw it oh sweet surprise | E |
| The taper it set a burning | F |
| The love light brimming my lady's eyes | E |
| And my heart with the fire of yearning | F |
