Convalescence Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEE FFGGHHII JJKKLLMM AANNOOPP| Underneath a tree I lie | A |
| Watching with lack lustre eye | A |
| All those little trivial things | B |
| Weakness after sickness brings | B |
| Watching birds flit to and fro | C |
| Watching how the grasses grow | C |
| Watching how the leaves and trees | D |
| Blend in Autumn harmonies | D |
| And wise insects taught by God | E |
| Build their shelters in the sod | E |
| - | |
| Oh how low the pride of men | F |
| Falls and grovels meekly when | F |
| Convalescence comes at last | G |
| After long borne sufferings past | G |
| E'en the arrogance of pain | H |
| That strange vanity is vain | H |
| And he lies a stricken thing | I |
| Bereft of even suffering | I |
| - | |
| All is gone the pain the pride | J |
| Arrogance is laid aside | J |
| And he owes all things he'd do | K |
| To some worthier being who | K |
| Out of charity shall seek | L |
| To assist the helpless weak | L |
| Out of charity to lend | M |
| Splendid strength he is to spend | M |
| - | |
| So beneath the tree I lie | A |
| Reading with a languid eye | A |
| Views of that and views of this | N |
| In a world so long amiss | N |
| And by some strange alchemy | O |
| Suddenly it seems to me | O |
| That as Earth's wild turmoils cease | P |
| Comes convalescence now and peace | P |
