Structure and Argument

It seems to me that this poem is addressing age and how we change as we grow older. In lines 120 and 121, the speaker says, "I grow old...I grow old, I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled." In other words, people's whole entire demeanor and actions can change, just like the seasons. I think that this poem is constructed in a way so that it makes a statement about life. It seems that he could almost be saying that life is somewhat structured due to the layout. The reason I say this is because he seems to break up the stanzas into different experiences within his life, unlike the first poem we read which was completely unstructured. In other words, he may be saying that there is some order to life.
