The Right To Joy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EBEBFGFG| I DO not ask for roses all the time | A |
| For blue skies bending o'er me every day | B |
| I do not ask for easy hills to climb | A |
| And always for my feet a pleasant way | B |
| In laughter I would not spend all my life | C |
| And miss the joy of sweet and sacred pain | D |
| I want to know life's burden and its strife | C |
| And feel upon my cheek the splash of rain | D |
| - | |
| I merely pray for strength enough to bear | E |
| My burdens and to tread the rugged way | B |
| To keep the right howe'er beset with care | E |
| To stand unflinching face front to the fray | B |
| And I would claim life's roses for my own | F |
| But I would win my right to know their sweet | G |
| To level paths I'd march my way alone | F |
| For victory I'd venture with defeat | G |
