The Lamentation Of The Old Pensioner Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDB EBFBGB HBIBGB

Although I shelter from the rainA
Under a broken treeB
My chair was nearest to the fireC
In every companyB
That talked of love or politicsD
Ere Time transfigured meB
-
Though lads are making pikes againE
For some conspiracyB
And crazy rascals rage their fillF
At human tyrannyB
My contemplations are of TimeG
That has transfigured meB
-
There's not a woman turns her faceH
Upon a broken treeB
And yet the beauties that I lovedI
Are in my memoryB
I spit into the face of TimeG
That has transfigured meB
