Don't Quit Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBC DDEFG HII EJJC

you're trudging seems all uphillA
when the funds are low and the debts are highB
and you want to smile but you have to sighB
when care is pressing you down a bit rest if you must but don't you quitC
-
Life is queer with its twists and turnsD
As everyone of us sometimes learnsD
And many a fellow turns about when he might have won had he stuck it outE
Don't give up though the pace seems slow you may succeed with another blowF
Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering manG
-
Often the struggler has given up when he might have captured the victor's cupH
and he learned too late when the night came downI
how close he was to the golden crownI
-
Success is failure turned inside out the silver tint of the clouds of doubtE
and when you never can tell how close you areJ
it may be near when it seems afarJ
so stick to the fight when you're hardest hit it's when things seem worst you must not quitC
