Mrs. George Reece Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGGGHIJKL| To this generation I would say | A |
| Memorize some bit of verse of truth or beauty | B |
| It may serve a turn in your life | C |
| My husband had nothing to do | D |
| With the fall of the bank he was only cashier | E |
| The wreck was due to the president Thomas Rhodes | F |
| And his vain unscrupulous son | G |
| Yet my husband was sent to prison | G |
| And I was left with the children | G |
| To feed and clothe and school them | H |
| And I did it and sent them forth | I |
| Into the world all clean and strong | J |
| And all through the wisdom of Pope the poet | K |
| Act well your part there all the honor lies | L |
