Though Narrow Be That Old Man-s Cares . Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBADEDEDE| THOUGH narrow be that old Man's cares and near | A |
| The poor old Man is greater than he seems | B |
| For he hath waking empire wide as dreams | B |
| An ample sovereignty of eye and ear | C |
| Rich are his walks with supernatural cheer | A |
| The region of his inner spirit teems | B |
| With vital sounds and monitory gleams | B |
| Of high astonishment and pleasing fear | A |
| He the seven birds hath seen that never part | D |
| Seen the SEVEN WHISTLERS in their nightly rounds | E |
| And counted them and oftentimes will start | D |
| For overhead are sweeping GABRIEL'S HOUNDS | E |
| Doomed with their impious Lord the flying Hart | D |
| To chase for ever on aerial grounds | E |
