French Leave Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFH IJKJ LMLM| No servile little fear shall daunt my will | A |
| This morning I have courage steeled to say | B |
| I will be lazy conqueringly still | A |
| I will not lose the hours in toil this day | B |
| - | |
| The roaring world without careless of souls | C |
| Shall leave me to my placid dream of rest | D |
| My four walls shield me from its shouting ghouls | E |
| And all its hates have fled my quiet breast | D |
| - | |
| And I will loll here resting wide awake | F |
| Dead to the world of work the world of love | G |
| I laze contented just for dreaming's sake | F |
| With not the slightest urge to think or move | H |
| - | |
| How tired unto death how tired I was | I |
| Now for a day I put my burdens by | J |
| And like a child amidst the meadow grass | K |
| Under the southern sun I languid lie | J |
| - | |
| And feel the bed about me kindly deep | L |
| My strength ooze gently from my hollow bones | M |
| My worried brain drift aimlessly to sleep | L |
| Like softening to a song of tuneful tones | M |
