Rhyme Scheme: AAABBCCDDEEFGGF| Am I despised because you say | A |
| And I dare swear that I am gray | A |
| Know Lady you have but your day | A |
| And time will come when you shall wear | B |
| Such frost and snow upon your hair | B |
| And when though long it comes to pass | C |
| You question with your looking glass | C |
| And in that sincere crystal seek | D |
| But find no rose bud in your cheek | D |
| Nor any bed to give the shew | E |
| Where such a rare carnation grew | E |
| Ah then too late close in your chamber keeping | F |
| It will be told | G |
| That you are old | G |
| By those true tears you're weeping | F |
Robert Herrick
