The Last Performance Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCB DEEFE FDGFG| I am playing my oldest tunes declared she | A |
| All the old tunes I know | B |
| Those I learnt ever so long ago | B |
| Why she should think just then she'd play them | C |
| Silence cloaks like snow | B |
| - | |
| When I returned from the town at nightfall | D |
| Notes continued to pour | E |
| As when I had left two hours before | E |
| It's the very last time she said in closing | F |
| From now I play no more | E |
| - | |
| A few morns onward found her fading | F |
| And as her life outflew | D |
| I thought of her playing her tunes right through | G |
| And I felt she had known of what was coming | F |
| And wondered how she knew | G |
