Resignation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFGEFG| When I am only fit to go to bed | A |
| Or hobble out to sit within the sun | B |
| Ring down the curtain say the play is done | B |
| And the last petals of the poppy shed | A |
| - | |
| I do not want to live when I am old | C |
| I have no use for things I cannot love | D |
| And when the day that I am talking of | D |
| Which God forfend is come it will be cold | C |

| But if there is another place than this | E |
| Where all the men will greet me as Old Man | F |
| And all the women wrap me in a smile | G |
| Where money is more useless than a kiss | E |
| And good wine is not put beneath the ban | F |
| I will go there and stay a little while | G |
