How To Make A Memory Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBEBFBBBGHIHJFKF ELMLNOKOThe rain was ending and light | A |
Lifting the leaden skies | B |
It shone upon ceiling and floor | C |
And dazzled a child's eyes | B |
Pale after fever a captive | D |
Apart from his schoolfellows | B |
He stood at the high room's window | E |
With face to the pane pressed close | B |
And beheld an immense glory | F |
Flooding with fire the drops | B |
Spilled on miraculous leaves | B |
Of the fresh green lime tree tops | B |
Washed gravel glittered red | G |
To a wall and beyond it nine | H |
Tall limes in the old inn yard | I |
Rose over the tall inn sign | H |
And voices arose from beneath | J |
Of boys from school set free | F |
Racing and chasing each other | K |
With laughter and games and glee | F |
To the boy at the high room window | E |
Gazing alone and apart | L |
There came a wish without reason | M |
A thought that shone through his heart | L |
I'll choose this moment and keep it | N |
He said to himself for a vow | O |
To remember for ever and ever | K |
As if it were always now | O |
