Elements of poetry- Young and Old

Young and Old By Charles Kingsley

WHEN all the world is young, lad,
And all the trees are green;
And every goose a swan, lad,
And every lass a queen;
Then hey for boot and horse, lad,
And round the world away;
Young blood must have its course, lad,
And every dog his day.

When all the world is old, lad,
And all the trees are brown;
And all the sport is stale, lad,
And all the wheels run down:
Creep home and take your place there,
The spent and maimed among:
God grant you find one face there,
You loved when all was young.

Normally in the poetries, there are different kind of elements. There are simile, metaphor, imagery, hyperbole, alliteration, and rhyming. Most poetries form in stanzas, which is short paragraphs.

This poetry is formed in stanzas. There are no similes in the poetry. I think there are some metaphor, for example, there is one. In the poetry, "And round the world away;", it is a metaphor. There were a lot of imagery, almost the entire poetry were imagery. There are no alliteration in the poetry, because it's always describing a thing "when something is something". There are a lot of rhyming in this poetry, there are six groups. The first group is the six lads. Second group is green and queen. Third group is away and day. Fourth group is brown and down. Fifth group is the 2 there. Sixth group is among and young.
