Reminiscence Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| Though I am native to this frozen zone | A |
| That half the twelvemonth torpid lies or dead | B |
| Though the cold azure arching overhead | B |
| And the Atlantic's never ending moan | A |
| Are mine by heritage I must have known | A |
| Life otherwhere in epochs long since fled | B |
| For in my veins some Orient blood is red | B |
| And through my thought are lotus blossoms blown | A |
| I do remember it was just at dusk | C |
| Near a walled garden at the river's turn | D |
| A thousand summers seem but yesterday | E |
| A Nubian girl more sweet than Khoorja musk | C |
| Came to the water tank to fill her urn | D |
| And with the urn she bore my heart away | E |
