To-day's Burden Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECED| Arise depart for this is not your rest | A |
| Oh burden of all burdens still to arise | B |
| And still depart nor rest in any wise | B |
| Rolling still rolling thus to east from west | A |
| Earth journeys on her immemorial quest | A |
| Whom a moon chases in no different guise | B |
| Thus stars pursue their courses and thus flies | B |
| The sun and thus all creatures manifest | A |
| Unrest the common heritage the ban | C |
| Flung broadcast on all humankind on all | D |
| Who live for living all are bound to die | E |
| That which is old we know that it is man | C |
| These have no rest who sit and dream and sigh | E |
| Nor have those rest who wrestle and who fall | D |
