Davis Matlock Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGAHFIAJKLMNOPQ| Suppose it is nothing but the hive | A |
| That there are drones and workers | B |
| And queens and nothing but storing honey | C |
| Material things as well as culture and wisdom | D |
| For the next generation this generation never living | E |
| Except as it swarms in the sun light of youth | F |
| Strengthening its wings on what has been gathered | G |
| And tasting on the way to the hive | A |
| From the clover field the delicate spoil | H |
| Suppose all this and suppose the truth | F |
| That the nature of man is greater | I |
| Than nature's need in the hive | A |
| And you must bear the burden of life | J |
| As well as the urge from your spirit's excess | K |
| Well I say to live it out like a god | L |
| Sure of immortal life though you are in doubt | M |
| Is the way to live it | N |
| If that doesn't make God proud of you | O |
| Then God is nothing but gravitation | P |
| Or sleep is the golden goal | Q |
