The Souls Of Old Men Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGH

Inside their worn tattered bodiesA
sit the souls of old menB
How unhappy the poor things areC
and how bored by the pathetic life they liveD
How they tremble for fear of losing that life and how muchE
they love it those befuddled and contradictory soulsF
sitting half comic and half tragicG
inside their old threadbare skinsH
