Fine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFF GGHHCC IIAACCIsn't it fine when the day is done | A |
And the petty battles are lost or won | A |
When the gold is made and the ink is dried | B |
To quit the struggle and turn aside | B |
To spend an hour with your boy in play | C |
And let him race all of your cares away | C |
- | |
Isn't it fine when the day's gone well | D |
When you have glorious tales to tell | D |
And your heart is light and your head is high | E |
For nothing has happened to make you sigh | E |
To hurry homewards to share the joy | F |
That your work has won with a little boy | F |
- | |
Isn't it fine whether good or bad | G |
Has come to the hopes and the plans you had | G |
And the day is over to find him there | H |
Thinking you splendid and just and fair | H |
Ready to chase all your griefs away | C |
And soothe your soul with an hour of play | C |
- | |
Oh whether the day's been long or brief | I |
Whether it's brought to me joy or grief | I |
Whether I've failed or whether I've won | A |
It shall matter not when the work is done | A |
I shall count it fine if I end each day | C |
With a little boy in an hour of play | C |
