A Year Ago Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCB DEDEFE GHGHIH JIJIKI LMLMIM| I'm sitting by the fire tonight | A |
| The cat purrs on the rug | B |
| The room's abrim with rosy light | A |
| Suavely soft and snug | B |
| And safe and warm from dark and storm | C |
| It's cosiness I hug | B |
| - | |
| Then petulant the window pane | D |
| Quakes in the tempest moan | E |
| And cries Forlornly in the rain | D |
| There starkly streams a stone | E |
| Where one so dear who shared your cheer | F |
| Now lies alone alone | E |
| - | |
| Go forth Go forth into the gale | G |
| And pass and hour in prayer | H |
| This night of sorrow do not fail | G |
| The one you deemed so fair | H |
| The girl below the bitter snow | I |
| Who died your child to bear | H |
| - | |
| So wails the wind yet here I sit | J |
| Beside the ember's glow | I |
| My grog is hot my pipe is lit | J |
| And loth am I to go | I |
| To her who died a ten month bride | K |
| Only a year ago | I |
| - | |
| To day we weep each morrow is | L |
| A littling of regret | M |
| The saddest part of sorrow is | L |
| That we in time forget | M |
| Christ Let me go to graveyard woe | I |
| Yea I will sorrow yet | M |
