Exaggeration Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBABCBDBC| WE overstate the ills of life and take | A |
| Imagination given us to bring down | B |
| The choirs of singing angels overshone | B |
| By God's clear glory down our earth to rake | A |
| The dismal snows instead flake following flake | A |
| To cover all the corn we walk upon | B |
| The shadow of hills across a level thrown | B |
| And pant like climbers near the alder brake | A |
| We sigh so loud the nightingale within | B |
| Refuses to sing loud as else she would | C |
| O brothers let us leave the shame and sin | B |
| Of taking vainly in a plaintive mood | D |
| The holy name of GRIEF holy herein | B |
| That by the grief of ONE came all our good | C |
