Youth And Age Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJII| I love the joyous thoughtless heart | A |
| The revels of the youthful mind | B |
| 'Ere sad experience points the dart | A |
| Which wounds so surely all mankind | B |
| - | |
| It glads me when the buoyant soul | C |
| Unconscious ranges fancy free | D |
| Draining the sweets of pleasure's bowl | C |
| And thinking all as blest as he | D |
| - | |
| Ah me yet sad it is to know | E |
| The many griefs the future brings | F |
| That time must change that note to woe | E |
| Which now its merry carrol sings | F |
| - | |
| This summer of the mind alas | G |
| Must have its autumn leafless bare | H |
| When all these pleasing phantoms pass | G |
| And end in winter age and care | H |
| - | |
| Such such is life the moral tells | I |
| The tempest and its sunny smiles | J |
| A warning voice the cheerful bells | I |
| The knell of death our youth beguiles | I |
