Lover's Gifts Xix: It Is Written In The Book Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFGAHI| It is written in the book that Man when fifty must leave the | A |
| noisy world to go to the forest seclusion But the poet proclaims | B |
| that the forest hermitage is only for the young For it is the | A |
| birthplace of flowers and the haunt of birds and bees and hidden | C |
| hooks are waiting there for the thrill of lovers' whispers There | D |
| the moon light that is all one kiss for the malati flowers has | E |
| its deep message but those who understand it are far below fifty | F |
| And alas youth is inexperienced and wilful therefore it is | G |
| but meet that the old should take charge of the household and the | A |
| young take to the seclusion of forest shades and the severe | H |
| discipline of courting | I |
