Resignation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFBB

Since we the march of Time can not arrestA
Keep you in step with him till Time shall endB
Thus will you journey with more easeful breastA
Nor mar the rhythm that you cannot mendB
Nor ever yearn impatiently to reapC
Harvest allotted unto mellower yearsD
But having sown the seed take care to keepC
Its growth from tares till soaring stem appearsD
Neither when Summer from your life shall waneE
And Autumn fruit keep dropping from the boughF
Look back and sigh regretfully in vainE
For joys no longer seasonable nowF
Thus will your hours make music to the endB
And Life you loved so become Death your friendB
