Men Improve With The Years Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABACDCDEFEFGHGHABA

I am worn out with dreamsA
A weather worn marble tritonB
Among the streamsA
And all day long I lookC
Upon this lady's beautyD
As though I had found in a bookC
A pictured beautyD
pleased to have filled the eyesE
Or the discerning earsF
Delighted to be but wiseE
For men improve with the yearsF
And yet and yetG
Is this my dream or the truthH
O would that we had metG
When I had my burning youthH
But I grow old among dreamsA
A weather worn marble tritonB
Among the streamsA
