The False Fair Days Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CBA DBA| The false fair days have flamed the livelong day | A |
| And still they flicker in the brazen West | B |
| Cast down thine eyes poor soul shut out the unblest | B |
| A deadliest temptation Come away | A |
| - | |
| All day they flashed in flakes of fire that lay | A |
| The vintage low upon the hill's green breast | B |
| The harvest low and o'er that faithfullest | B |
| The blue sky ever beckoning shed dismay | A |
| - | |
| Oh clasp thy hands grow pale and turn again | C |
| If all the future savoured of the past | B |
| If the old insanity were on its way | A |
| - | |
| Those memories must each anew be slain | D |
| One fierce assault the best no doubt the last | B |
| Go pray against the gathering storm go pray | A |
