You Played And Sang A Snatch Of Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGHGIGIJ| You played and sang a snatch of song | A |
| A song that all too well we knew | B |
| But whither had flown the ancient wrong | A |
| And was it really I and you | B |
| O since the end of life's to live | C |
| And pay in pence the common debt | D |
| What should it cost us to forgive | E |
| Whose daily task is to forget | D |
| - | |
| You babbled in the well known voice | F |
| Not new not new the words you said | G |
| You touched me off that famous poise | H |
| That old effect of neck and head | G |
| Dear was it really you and I | I |
| In truth the riddle's ill to read | G |
| So many are the deaths we die | I |
| Before we can be dead indeed | J |
