Profit And Loss Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECFEEach day a new sword flashes in the van | A |
Another leader brave to do or die | B |
Comes forth full furnished for the strife whereby | B |
He gains his growth and stature as a man | A |
Each day our world that under the black ban | A |
Of ignorant custom for so long did lie | B |
Grows bright and brighter like a clearing sky | B |
More good and lovely in its wondrous plan | A |
- | |
Yet oh how few the saved how small the gain | C |
How poor the profit as against the cost | D |
The waste of life divinely vast and fair | E |
Potential in starved soul and unfed brain | C |
The powers that might have been and might be lost | F |
Only for want of common food and air | E |
