Wasted Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECFE| Each day another soldier in the van | A |
| Each day a new young worker in the fields | B |
| And every day more plenteous harvest yields | B |
| From human toil to bless and not to ban | A |
| A better world upon a better plan | A |
| And daily strengthening the arms he wields | B |
| And more disdainful of old shifts and shields | B |
| An ever nobler and diviner Man | A |
| - | |
| But oh how few the saved how small the gain | C |
| How poor the profit as against the cost | D |
| The waste of life potential vast and fair | E |
| In soul unfructified and starveling brain | C |
| Of Power that might have been and might be lost | F |
| For want of common food and common air | E |
