Youth And Age. (sonnet Iii.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBADEDFED| Oh give me back the days when loose and free | A |
| To my blind passion were the curb and rein | B |
| Oh give me back the angelic face again | C |
| With which all virtue buried seems to be | A |
| Oh give my panting footsteps back to me | A |
| That are in age so slow and fraught with pain | B |
| And fire and moisture in the heart and brain | B |
| If thou wouldst have me burn and weep for thee | A |
| If it be true thou livest alone Amor | D |
| On the sweet bitter tears of human hearts | E |
| In an old man thou canst not wake desire | D |
| Souls that have almost reached the other shore | F |
| Of a diviner love should feel the darts | E |
| And be as tinder to a holier fire | D |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
