Song Of Going Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG HIHI| I would not like to live to be very old | A |
| To be stripped cold and bare | B |
| Of all my leafage that was green and gold | A |
| In the delicious air | B |
| - | |
| I would not choose to live to be left alone | C |
| The children gone away | D |
| And the true love that I have leant upon | E |
| No more my staff and stay | D |
| - | |
| I would not live to stretch my shrivelled hands | F |
| To an old fire died low | G |
| Minding me of the long lost happy lands | F |
| And children long ago | G |
| - | |
| Let me be gone while I am leafy yet | H |
| And while my birds still sing | I |
| Lest leafless birdless my dull heart forget | H |
| That ever it had Spring | I |
