Rhyme Scheme: ABCCABAADEFGHIJEKLMA NA man I praise that once in Tara's Hals | A |
Said to the woman on his knees 'Lie still | B |
My hundredth year is at an end I think | C |
That something is about to happen I think | C |
That the adventure of old age begins | A |
To many women I have said Lie still | B |
And given everything a woman needs | A |
A roof good clothes passion love perhaps | A |
But never asked for love should I ask that | D |
I shall be old indeed ' | E |
Thereon the man | F |
Went to the Sacred House and stood between | G |
The golden plough and harrow and spoke aloud | H |
That all attendants and the casual crowd might hear | I |
'God I have loved but should I ask return | J |
Of God or woman the time were come to die ' | E |
He bade his hundred and first year at end | K |
Diggers and carpenters make grave and coffin | L |
Saw that the grave was deep the coffin sound | M |
Summoned the generations of his house | A |
Lay in the coffin stopped his breath and died | N |
