Beauty That Is Never Old Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FEEF

When buffeted and beaten by life's stormsA
When by the bitter cares of life oppressedB
I want no surer haven than your armsC
I want no sweeter heaven than your breastB
-
When over my life's way there falls the blightD
Of sunless days and nights of starless skiesE
Enough for me the calm and steadfast lightD
That softly shines within your loving eyesE
-
The world for me and all the world can holdF
Is circled by your arms for me there liesE
Within the lights and shadows of your eyesE
The only beauty that is never oldF
