Youth And Age Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIII 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 |
