Villanelle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAABA ABA ABA ABA ABA ABA ABAA| We said farewell my youth and I | A |
| When all fair dreams were gone or going | B |
| And Love s red lips were cold and dry | A |
| When white blooms fell from tree tops high | A |
| Our Austral winter s way of snowing | B |
| We said farewell my youth and I | A |
| - | |
| We did not sigh what use to sigh | A |
| When Death passed as a mower mowing | B |
| And Love s red lips were cold and dry | A |
| - | |
| But hearing Life s stream thunder by | A |
| That sang of old through flowers flowing | B |
| We said farewell my youth and I | A |
| - | |
| There was no hope in the blue sky | A |
| No music in the low winds blowing | B |
| And Love s red lips were cold and dry | A |
| - | |
| My hair is black as yet then why | A |
| So sad I know not only knowing | B |
| We said farewell my youth and I | A |
| - | |
| All are not buried when they die | A |
| Dead souls there are through live eyes showing | B |
| When Love s red lips are cold and dry | A |
| - | |
| So seeing where the dead men lie | A |
| Out of their hearts the grave flowers growing | B |
| We said farewell my youth and I | A |
| When Love s red lips were cold and dry | A |
