Of Any Old Man Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJGGGKC| Wreck not the ageing heart of quietness | A |
| With alien uproar and rude jolly cries | B |
| Which satyr like to a mild maidens pride | C |
| Ripens not wisdom but a large recoil | D |
| Give them their withered peace their trial grave | E |
| Their old youth's three scored shadowy effigy | F |
| Mock them not with your ripened turbulence | G |
| Their frost mailed petulance with your torrid wrath | H |
| While edging your boisterous thunder shivers one word | I |
| Pap to their senile shivering drug to truth | J |
| The feigned ramparts of bleak ignorance | G |
| Experience crown of naked majesties | G |
| That tells us nought we know not but confirms | G |
| Oh think You reverend shadowy austere | K |
| Your Christ's youth was not ended when he died | C |
