Homecoming Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FGHHH IJKLM NOPQR

What was is sinceA
the boys in my old gangB
are senior partners They start upC
bald like baby birdsD
to embrace retirementE
-
At the altar of surrenderF
I met youG
in the hour of credulityH
How your misfortune came out clearlyH
to us at twentyH
-
At the gingerbread casinoI
how innocent the nights we made itJ
on our Vesuvio martinisK
with no vermouth but vodkaL
to sweeten the dry ginM
-
the lash across my faceN
that night we adoredO
soon every night and allP
when your sweet amorousQ
repetition changedR
