To C.c.c. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF EBEB GDGD HIHI JJJJ KLKL| Oh for the nights when we used to sit | A |
| In the firelight's glow or flicker | B |
| With the gas turned low and our pipes all lit | A |
| And the air fast growing thicker | B |
| - | |
| When you enthroned in the big arm chair | C |
| Would spin for us yarns unending | D |
| Your voice and accent and pensive air | C |
| With the narrative subtly blending | D |
| - | |
| Oh for the bleak and wintry days | E |
| When we set our blood in motion | F |
| Leaping the rocks below the braes | E |
| And wetting our feet in the ocean | F |
| - | |
| Or shying at marks for moderate sums | E |
| A penny a hit you remember | B |
| With aching fingers and purple thumbs | E |
| In the merry month of December | B |
| - | |
| There is little doubt we were very daft | G |
| And our sports like the stakes were trifling | D |
| While the air of the room where we talked and laughed | G |
| Was often unpleasantly stifling | D |
| - | |
| Now we are grave and sensible men | H |
| And wrinkles our brows embellish | I |
| And I fear we shall never relish again | H |
| The pleasures we used to relish | I |
| - | |
| And I fear we never again shall go | J |
| The cold and weariness scorning | J |
| For a ten mile walk through the frozen snow | J |
| At one o'clock in the morning | J |
| - | |
| Out by Cameron in by the Grange | K |
| And to bed as the moon descended | L |
| To you and to me there has come a change | K |
| And the days of our youth are ended | L |
