On A Very Old Woman Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDECD FFGHHGAnd thou wert once a maiden fair | A |
A blushing virgin warm and young | B |
With myrtles wreathed in golden hair | A |
And glossy brow that knew no care | A |
Upon a bridegroom's arm you hung | B |
- | |
The golden locks are silvered now | C |
The blushing cheek is pale and wan | D |
The spring may bloom the autumn glow | E |
All's one in chimney corner thou | C |
Sitt'st shivering on | D |
- | |
A moment and thou sink'st to rest | F |
To wake perhaps an angel blest | F |
In the bright presence of thy Lord | G |
Oh weary is life's path to all | H |
Hard is the strife and light the fall | H |
But wondrous the reward | G |
