I am not familiar with this style. The rhyming pattern escapes me as well as the amount of lines in each verse. However...

Your first three lines really captivated me and drew me in. I love the antiquated sound of the words as they roll off my lips and through my mind. I didn't get the rest of the verse. I also did not understand the 2nd verse. However... (lol)

I felt the sadness and melancholy of the next verse. Yes, in olden days the of old women were not taken seriously and often very little thought was given to their wants and dreams. You nailed it.

Encouraging man to celebrate and gain hope for and from the woman was a very nice ending.
Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I did enjoy it.
