A Man Young And Old: I. First Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEF GHIJKA LMNOPMThough nurtured like the sailing moon | A |
In beauty's murderous brood | B |
She walked awhile and blushed awhile | C |
And on my pathway stood | D |
Until I thought her body bore | E |
A heart of flesh and blood | F |
- | |
But since I laid a hand thereon | G |
And found a heart of stone | H |
I have attempted many things | I |
And not a thing is done | J |
For every hand is lunatic | K |
That travels on the moon | A |
- | |
She smiled and that transfigured me | L |
And left me but a lout | M |
Maundering here and maundering there | N |
Emptier of thought | O |
Than the heavenly circuit of its stars | P |
When the moon sails out | M |
