Old Age Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEEDFDDF| It may be when this city of the nine gates | A |
| Is broken down by ruinous old age | B |
| And no one upon any pilgrimage | C |
| Comes knocking no one for an audience waits | A |
| And no bright foraging troop of bandit moods | D |
| Rides out on the brave folly of any guest | E |
| But weariness the restless shadow of rest | E |
| Hoveringly upon the city broods | D |
| It may be then that those remembering | F |
| And sleepless watchers on the crumbling towers | D |
| Shall lose the count of the disastrous hours | D |
| Which God may have grown tired of reckoning | F |
