A Song For Old Age Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB ACACAC DEDFDF| Now nights grow cold and colder | A |
| And North the wild vane swings | B |
| And round each tree and boulder | A |
| The driving snow storm sings | B |
| Come make my old heart older | A |
| O memory of lost things | B |
| - | |
| Of Hope when promise sung her | A |
| Brave songs and I was young | C |
| That banquets now on hunger | A |
| Since all youth's songs are sung | C |
| Of Love who walks with younger | A |
| Sweethearts the flowers among | C |
| - | |
| Ah well while Life holds levee | D |
| Death's ceaseless dance goes on | E |
| So let the curtains heavy | D |
| About my couch be drawn | F |
| The curtains sad and heavy | D |
| Where all shall sleep anon | F |
