Old Age Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEEDFGGFHH| The young see heaven but to the old who wait | A |
| The final call the hills of youth arise | B |
| More beautiful than shores of Paradise | C |
| Beside a glowing and voracious grate | A |
| A dozing couple dream of yesterday | D |
| The islands of a vanished past appear | E |
| Bringing forgotten names and faces near | E |
| While lost in mist the present fades away | D |
| The fragrant winds of tender memories blow | F |
| Across the gardens of the Used to be | G |
| They smile into each other's eyes and see | G |
| The bride and bridegroom of the long ago | F |
| And tremulous lips pressed close to faded cheek | H |
| Love's silent tale of deathless passion speak | H |
