Love Of Life Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHH| Why love life more the less of it be left | A |
| And what is left be little but the lees | B |
| And Time's subsiding passions have bereft | A |
| One's taste for pleasure and one's power to please | B |
| Is it not better like the waning year | C |
| Without lament resignedly to fade | D |
| Since by enduring ordinance all things here | E |
| Are in their season shattered and decayed | D |
| If you have shared in April's freshet song | F |
| And Summer can without reproach recall | G |
| Yearn not Autumnal harvest to prolong | F |
| Nor shrink from Winter that awaits us all | G |
| But lightened of the load of earthly ties | H |
| Pursue with homeward step your journey to the skies | H |
