The Song Of The Olden Time Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDABAB EFGFHCBCAIAJ| There's a song of the olden time | A |
| Falling sad o'er the ear | B |
| Like the dream of some village chime | A |
| Which in youth we loved to hear | B |
| And even amidst the grand and gay | C |
| When Music tries her gentlest art | D |
| I never hear so sweet a lay | C |
| Or one that hangs so round my heart | D |
| As that song of the olden time | A |
| Falling sad o'er the ear | B |
| Like the dream of some village chime | A |
| Which in youth we loved to hear | B |
| - | |
| And when all of this life is gone | E |
| Even the hope lingering now | F |
| Like the last of the leaves left on | G |
| Autumn's sere and faded bough | F |
| 'Twill seem as still those friends were near | H |
| Who loved me in youth's early day | C |
| If in that parting hour I hear | B |
| The same sweet notes and die away | C |
| To that song of the olden time | A |
| Breathed like Hope's farewell strain | I |
| To say in some brighter clime | A |
| Life and youth will shine again | J |
