An Emblem Of Life Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEFFGHII| Oh Life is like the summer rill where weary daylight dies | A |
| We long for morn to rise again and blush along the skies | A |
| For dull and dark that stream appears whose waters in the day | B |
| All glad in conscious sunniness went dancing on their way | B |
| But when the glorious sun hath 'woke and look'd upon the earth | C |
| And over hill and dale there float the sounds of human mirth | C |
| We sigh to see day hath not brought its perfect light to all | D |
| For with the sunshine on those waves the silent shadows fall | D |
| - | |
| Oh like that changeful summer rill our years go gliding by | E |
| Now bright with joy now dark with tears before youth's eager eye | E |
| And thus we vainly pant for all the rich and golden glow | F |
| Which young Hope like an early sun upon its course can throw | F |
| Soon o'er our half illumined hearts the stealing shadows come | G |
| And every thought that 'woke in light receives its share of gloom | H |
| And we weep while joys and sorrows both are fading from our view | I |
| To find wherever sunbeams fall the shadow cometh too | I |
