In Lukewarm Weather Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABC DBE FG HCIJ K

The women who were girls a long time agoA
Are sitting between the flower bushesB
And speaking softly togetherC
-
They pretend that we are old and have white hairD
They say also that our facesB
Are not like the spring moonsE
-
Perhaps it is a lieF
We cannot see ourselvesG
-
Who will tell us for certainH
That winter is not at the other side of the mirrorC
Obscuring our delightsI
And covering our hair with frostJ
-
From the Chinese of Wang Ch'ang Ling eighth centuryK
