Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHEIEJEK FL MGNOPEE DDDQDERDDDo you remember | A |
That afternoon that Sunday afternoon | B |
When as the kirks were ringing in | C |
And the grey city teemed | D |
With Sabbath feelings and aspects | E |
Lewis our Lewis then | F |
Now the whole world's and you | G |
Young yet in shape most like an elder came | H |
Laden with Balzacs | E |
Big yellow books quite impudently French | I |
The first of many times | E |
To that transformed back kitchen where I lay | J |
So long so many centuries | E |
Or years is it ago | K |
- | |
Dear Charles since then | F |
We have been friends Lewis and you and I | L |
How good it sounds 'Lewis and you and I ' | - |
Such friends I like to think | M |
That in us three Lewis and me and you | G |
Is something of that gallant dream | N |
Which old Dumas the generous the humane | O |
The seven and seventy times to be forgiven | P |
Dreamed for a blessing to the race | E |
The immortal Musketeers | E |
- | |
Our Athos rests the wise the kind | D |
The liberal and august his fault atoned | D |
Rests in the crowded yard | D |
There at the west of Princes Street We three | Q |
You I and Lewis still afoot | D |
Are still together and our lives | E |
In chime so long may keep | R |
God bless the thought | D |
Unjangled till the end | D |
