Men Improve With The Years Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDCDEFEFGHGHABAI am worn out with dreams | A |
A weather worn marble triton | B |
Among the streams | A |
And all day long I look | C |
Upon this lady's beauty | D |
As though I had found in a book | C |
A pictured beauty | D |
pleased to have filled the eyes | E |
Or the discerning ears | F |
Delighted to be but wise | E |
For men improve with the years | F |
And yet and yet | G |
Is this my dream or the truth | H |
O would that we had met | G |
When I had my burning youth | H |
But I grow old among dreams | A |
A weather worn marble triton | B |
Among the streams | A |
