Beautiful Old Age Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABA CDEF GHAI JAK HH

It ought to be lovely to be oldA
to be full of the peace that comes of experienceB
and wrinkled ripe fulfilmentA
-
The wrinkled smile of completeness that follows a lifeC
lived undaunted and unsoured with accepted liesD
they would ripen like apples and be scented like pippinsE
in their old ageF
-
Soothing old people should be like applesG
when one is tired of loveH
Fragrant like yellowing leaves and dim with the softA
stillness and satisfaction of autumnI
-
And a girl should sayJ
It must be wonderful to live and grow oldA
Look at my mother how rich and still she isK
-
And a young man should think By JoveH
my father has faced all weathers but it's been a lifeH
