Memory Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBC DEDEFF GHGHII| So shuts the marigold her leaves | A |
| At the departure of the sun | B |
| So from the honeysuckle sheaves | A |
| The bee goes when the day is done | B |
| So sits the turtle when she is but one | B |
| And so all woe as I since she is gone | C |
| - | |
| To some few birds kind Nature hath | D |
| Made all the summer as one day | E |
| Which once enjoy'd cold winter's wrath | D |
| As night they sleeping pass away | E |
| Those happy creatures are that know not yet | F |
| The pain to be deprived or to forget | F |
| - | |
| I oft have heard men say there be | G |
| Some that with confidence profess | H |
| The helpful Art of Memory | G |
| But could they teach Forgetfulness | H |
| I'd learn and try what further art could do | I |
| To make me love her and forget her too | I |
