One Certainty Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEFFED| Vanity of vanities the Preacher saith | A |
| All things are vanity The eye and ear | B |
| Cannot be filled with what they see and hear | B |
| Like early dew or like the sudden breath | A |
| Of wind or like the grass that withereth | A |
| Is man tossed to and fro by hope and fear | C |
| So little joy hath he so little cheer | C |
| Till all things end in the long dust of death | A |
| To day is still the same as yesterday | D |
| To morrow also even as one of them | E |
| And there is nothing new under the sun | F |
| Until the ancient race of Time be run | F |
| The old thorns shall grow out of the old stem | E |
| And morning shall be cold and twilight gray | D |
