Memory Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFG HIJKLMNO| When I was young my heart and head were light | A |
| And I was gay and feckless as a colt | B |
| Out in the fields with morning in the may | C |
| Wind on the grass wings in the orchard bloom | D |
| O thrilling sweet my joy when life was free | E |
| And all the paths led on from hawthorn time | F |
| Across the carolling meadows into June | G |
| - | |
| But now my heart is heavy laden I sit | H |
| Burning my dreams away beside the fire | I |
| For death has made me wise and bitter and strong | J |
| And I am rich in all that I have lost | K |
| O starshine on the fields of long ago | L |
| Bring me the darkness and the nightingale | M |
| Dim wealds of vanished summer peace of home | N |
| And silence and the faces of my friends | O |
