Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG

THE barren music of a word or phraseA
The futile arts of syllable and stressB
He sought The poetry of common daysA
He did not guessB
-
The simplest sweetest rhythms life affordsC
Unselfish love true effort truly doneD
The tender themes that underlie all wordsE
He knew not oneD
-
-
The human cadence and the subtle chimeF
Of little laughters home and child and wifeG
He knew not Artist merely in his rhymeF
Not in his lifeG
