In Tempore Senectutis Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDA AEAEEEEA AEFECCGHA

When I am oldA
I will not have you look apartB
From me into the coldA
Friend of my heartB
Nor be sad in your remembranceC
Of the careless mad heart semblanceC
That the wind hath blown awayD
When I am oldA
-
When I am oldA
And the white hot wonder fireE
Unto the world seem coldA
My soul's desireE
Know you then that all life's showerE
The rain of the years that hourE
Shall make blow for us one flowerE
Including all when we are oldA
-
When I am oldA
If you rememberE
Any love save what is thenF
Hearth light unto life's DecemberE
Be your joy of past sweet chalicesC
To know then naught but thisC
How many wonders are less sweetG
Than love I bear to theeH
When I am oldA
