Old And Young Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCAA DDBB EEAA| LONG ago on a bright spring day | A |
| I passed a little child at play | A |
| And as I passed in childish glee | B |
| She called to me Come and play with me | B |
| - | |
| But my eyes were fixed on a far off height | C |
| I was fain to climb before the night | C |
| So half impatient I answered Nay | A |
| I am too old too old to play | A |
| - | |
| Long long after in Autumn time | D |
| My limbs were grown too old to climb | D |
| I passed a child on a pleasant lea | B |
| And I called to her Come and play with me | B |
| - | |
| But her eyes were fixed on a fairy book | E |
| And scarce she lifted a wondering look | E |
| As with childish scorn she answered Nay | A |
| I am too old too old to play | A |
