The Old, Old Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABACAC ADADEFEF

When all the world is young ladA
And all the trees are greenB
And every goose a swan ladA
And every lass a queenB
Then hey for boot and horse ladA
And round the world awayC
Young blood must have its course ladA
And every dog his dayC
-
When all the world is old ladA
And all the trees are brownD
And all the sport is stale ladA
And all the wheels run downD
Creep home and take your place thereE
The spent and maimed amongF
God grant you find one face thereE
You loved when all was youngF
