Old Tunes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAA BBB CCD EEE FF| As the waves of perfume heliotrope rose | A |
| Float in the garden when no wind blows | A |
| Come to us go from us whence no one knows | A |
| - | |
| So the old tunes float in my mind | B |
| And go from me leaving no trace behind | B |
| Like fragrance borne on the hush of the wind | B |
| - | |
| But in the instant the airs remain | C |
| I know the laughter and the pain | C |
| Of times that will not come again | D |
| - | |
| I try to catch at many a tune | E |
| Like petals of light fallen from the moon | E |
| Broken and bright on a dark lagoon | E |
| - | |
| But they float away for who can hold | F |
| Youth or perfume or the moon's gold | F |
