Old Love-letters Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBABA CDEE C| You ask and I send It is well yea best | A |
| A lily hangs dead on its stalk ah me | B |
| A dream hangs dead on a life it blest | A |
| Shall it flaunt its death where sad eyes may see | B |
| In the cold dank wind of our memory | B |
| Shall we watch it rot like an empty nest | A |
| Love's ghost poor pitiful mockery | B |
| Bury these shreds and behold it shall rest | A |
| - | |
| And shall life fail if one dream be sped | C |
| For loss of one bloom shall the lily pass | D |
| Nay bury these deep round the roots for so | E |
| In soil of old dreams do the new dreams grow | E |
| New 'Hail' is begot of the old 'Alas ' | - |
| See here are our letters so sweet so dead | C |
