Vanity Of Vanities - Sonnet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBADEDEDE| Ah woe is me for pleasure that is vain | A |
| Ah woe is me for glory that is past | B |
| Pleasure that bringeth sorrow at the last | B |
| Glory that at the last bringeth no gain | A |
| So saith the sinking heart and so again | C |
| It shall say till the mighty angel blast | B |
| Is blown making the sun and moon aghast | B |
| And showering down the stars like sudden rain | A |
| And evermore men shall go fearfully | D |
| Bending beneath their weight of heaviness | E |
| And ancient men shall lie down wearily | D |
| And strong men shall rise up in weariness | E |
| Yea even the young shall answer sighingly | D |
| Saying one to another How vain it is | E |
