A Song For Old Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDAEFAEAEAGAH| There shall be a song for both of us that day | A |
| Though fools say you have long outlived your songs | B |
| And when perhaps because your hair is grey | A |
| You go unsung to whom all praise belongs | B |
| And no men kiss your hands your fragile hands | C |
| Folded like empty shells on sea spurned sands | C |
| And you that were dawn whereat men shouted once | D |
| Are sunset now but with one worshipper | A |
| Then to your twilight heart this song shall be | E |
| Sweeter than those that did your youth announce | F |
| For your brave beautiful spirit is lovelier | A |
| Than once your lovely body was to me | E |
| Your folded hands and your shut eyelids stir | A |
| A passion that Time has crowned with sanctity | E |
| Young fools shall wonder why your youth being over | A |
| You are so sung still but your heart will know | G |
| That he who loved your soul was your true lover | A |
| And the last song alone was worthy you | H |
