The Old Men Admiring Themselves In The Water Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDBAAC

I heard the old old men sayA
'Everything altersB
And one by one we drop away 'C
They had hands like claws and their kneesD
Were twisted like the old thorn treesD
By the watersB
I heard the old old men sayA
'All that's beautiful drifts awayA
Like the waters 'C

William Butler Yeats
