Vis Medicatrix Naturae Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECEE| When Faith turns false and Fancy grows unkind | A |
| And Fortune more from fickleness than spite | B |
| Takes the keen savour out of all delight | B |
| And of sweet pulp leaves only bitter rind | A |
| Then I the load of living leave behind | A |
| Fleeing where far from human sound and sight | B |
| Over brown furrows wheels the lapwing white | B |
| And whistles tunely with the winter wind | A |
| For Nature's frank indifference woundeth less | C |
| Than Man's feigned smiles and simulated tears | D |
| She is at least the egoist she appears | E |
| Scorning to proffer or entice caress | C |
| And through the long reiterated years | E |
| Endures her doom with uncomplainingness | E |
