Sonnet - To An Octogenarian Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDEEDFGFGFG| Affections lose their object Time brings forth | A |
| No successors and lodged in memory | B |
| If love exist no longer it must die | C |
| Wanting accustomed food must pass from earth | D |
| Or never hope to reach a second birth | D |
| This sad belief the happiest that is left | E |
| To thousands share not Thou howe'er bereft | E |
| Scorned or neglected fear not such a dearth | D |
| Though poor and destitute of friends thou art | F |
| Perhaps the sole survivor of thy race | G |
| One to whom Heaven assigns that mournful part | F |
| The utmost solitude of age to face | G |
| Still shall be left some corner of the heart | F |
| Where Love for living Thing can find a place | G |
