A Place At The Top Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDDEFFFE GHGHIIIJGGGJ| THERE'S a place for you at the top my boy | A |
| Are you willing to try to get it | B |
| It's true that trouble will try to stop | C |
| Your efforts but will you let it | B |
| The road is long and the path is rough | D |
| Designed for men of the proper stuff | D |
| And you can't get by with a common bluff | D |
| For the way is barred to bluffers | E |
| And ever and ever the weak drop out | F |
| But the strong keep going with courage stout | F |
| They may taste defeat but never rout | F |
| But it's worth all a fighter suffers | E |
| - | |
| Up there at the top there 's a place for you | G |
| You may earn it or let it go | H |
| And the world won't care which of these you do | G |
| It's up to yourself to show | H |
| Whether you can battle with fate and wrong | I |
| And take hard luck when it comes along | I |
| With a nervy grin or a bit of song | I |
| Or stop with the quitters tamely | J |
| There's room at the top you can get there too | G |
| If you 're ready to fight your own way through | G |
| The odds are heavy I know but you | G |
| Can win if you'll face them gamely | J |
