Contentment Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE| Is it a virtue as the sages say | A |
| The 'trivial round and common task' to ply | B |
| And for no wider walk of life to sigh | B |
| Than we were born to sweetly day by day | A |
| Our meed of lowly reverence to pay | A |
| Our high placed 'betters' never to defy | B |
| The powers that be never to kick or cry | B |
| Or think or question simply to obey | A |
| - | |
| Then vice be with us although blood be shed | C |
| No pact with powers partizan and blind | D |
| No peace with Custom that makes right of wrong | E |
| We shall content us when the starved are fed | C |
| When men and brothers are agreed and kind | D |
| And there is fair play between weak and strong | E |
