Old Spanish Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEF AGAGHIHIEFEF JKJKLGLGEFEF| I'm thinking of the wooing | A |
| That won my maiden heart | B |
| When he he came pursuing | A |
| A love unused to art | B |
| Into the drowsy river | C |
| The moon transported flung | D |
| Her soul that seemed to quiver | C |
| With the songs my lover sung | D |
| And the stars in rapture twinkled | E |
| On the slumbrous world below | F |
| You see that old and wrinkled | E |
| I'm not forgetful no | F |
| - | |
| He still should be repeating | A |
| The vows he uttered then | G |
| Alas the years though fleeting | A |
| Are truer yet than men | G |
| The summer moonlight glistens | H |
| In the favorite trysting spot | I |
| Where the river ever listens | H |
| For a song it heareth not | I |
| And I whose head is sprinkled | E |
| With time's benumbing snow | F |
| I languish old and wrinkled | E |
| But not forgetful no | F |
| - | |
| What though he elsewhere turneth | J |
| To beauty strangely bold | K |
| Still in my bosom burneth | J |
| The tender fire of old | K |
| And the words of love he told me | L |
| And the songs he sung me then | G |
| Come crowding to uphold me | L |
| And I live my youth again | G |
| For when love's feet have tinkled | E |
| On the pathway women go | F |
| Though one be old and wrinkled | E |
| She's not forgetful no | F |
