Bartimeus Grown Old Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDEC FGFGHH| YEA I am he that dwelt beside this tomb | A |
| I was a child God smote me from the sun | B |
| A little while I had forgot to run | B |
| Under the rain sweet roof of almond bloom | A |
| I had forgotten summer and the flaw | C |
| Ruffling the gray sea and the yellowed grain | D |
| Now I am old and I forget again | E |
| But a man came and touched me and I saw | C |
| - | |
| Long years he dowered me with imperial day | F |
| Bright blossomed night and all the stars in trust | G |
| Now I am blind again and by the way | F |
| Wait still to catch his footsteps in the dust | G |
| Surely he comes and he will hear my cry | H |
| Though he were stricken and dim and old as I | H |
