Cheerfulness Taught By Reason Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADEFFFG| I THINK we are too ready with complaint | A |
| In this fair world of God's Had we no hope | B |
| Indeed beyond the zenith and the slope | B |
| Of yon gray blank of sky we might grow faint | A |
| To muse upon eternity's constraint | A |
| Round our aspirant souls but since the scope | B |
| Must widen early is it well to droop | C |
| For a few days consumed in loss and taint | A |
| O pusillanimous Heart be comforted | D |
| And like a cheerful traveller take the road | E |
| Singing beside the hedge What if the bread | F |
| Be bitter in thine inn and thou unshod | F |
| To meet the flints At least it may be said | F |
| ' Because the way is short I thank thee God ' | G |
