I Bear In Youth The Sad Infirmities Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEFGHHGIJ D| I bear in youth the sad infirmities | A |
| That use to undo the limb and sense of age | B |
| It hath pleased Heaven to break the dream of bliss | C |
| Which lit my onward way with bright presage | D |
| And my unserviceable limbs forego | E |
| The sweet delight I found in fields and farms | F |
| On windy hills whose tops with morning glow | E |
| And lakes smooth mirrors of Aurora's charms | F |
| Yet I think on them in the silent night | G |
| Still breaks that morn though dim to Memory's eye | H |
| And the firm soul does the pale train defy | H |
| Of grim Disease that would her peace affright | G |
| Please God I'll wrap me in mine innocence | I |
| And bid each awful Muse drive the damned harpies hence | J |
