"The weather is cold, dark and dreary; When it rains, the wind will not get tired; The vine still clings to the ruined wall, but every time there is a strong wind, the dead leaves fall one after another, and the day is dark and dreary.
Quiet, sad heart! Stop complaining; Behind the dark clouds is still sunny; Your destiny is the common destiny of all people. It will rain in everyone's life, and some days will be dark and dreary.
Then, with the passage of time, I grew up gradually, time passed slowly, and I watched them leave; I feel those days that are gone forever: people close to me, former friends; Now I'm lost, just like me, next to spring, under the tree,
Flowers in May, like smart bees flying with them, I will die. "
In this sentence, "Lao" is an adjective, which is used to describe the subject "I". Here "older" modifies the verb "grow" after the subject, because this sentence adopts the inverted structure.
The normal sentence structure should be: with the growth of age.
However, in poetry, in order to make the sentence rhyme or conform to the rhythm, the poet adopts the inverted sentence structure and adjusts the phrase "I older grow" to "older grow I".
This is not common in daily conversation or formal written English, but it is a common rhetorical device in classical poetry or literary works. It contributes to the rhythm and rhythm of poetry and makes it more beautiful and attractive. In classical poetry, sometimes the word order may be adjusted for the needs of poetry and expression, but this does not affect the understanding and meaning of sentences.
