Youth Sings A Song Of Rosebuds Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEGHIHJ| Since men grow diffident at last | A |
| And care no whit at all | B |
| If spring be come or the fall be past | A |
| Or how the cool rains fall | B |
| I come to no flower but I pluck | C |
| I raise no cup but I sip | D |
| For a mouth is the best of sweets to suck | C |
| The oldest wine's on the lip | D |
| If I grow old in a year or two | E |
| And come to the querulous song | F |
| Of 'Alack and aday' and 'This was true | E |
| And that when I was young ' | G |
| I must have sweets to remember by | H |
| Some blossom saved from the mire | I |
| Some death rebellious ember I | H |
| Can fan into a fire | J |
