Patience Taught By Nature Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBCBBDBBD| 'O DREARY life ' we cry ' O dreary life ' | A |
| And still the generations of the birds | B |
| Sing through our sighing and the flocks and herds | B |
| Serenely live while we are keeping strife | C |
| With Heaven's true purpose in us as a knife | C |
| Against which we may struggle Ocean girds | B |
| Unslackened the dry land savannah swards | B |
| Unweary sweep hills watch unworn and rife | C |
| Meek leaves drop year y from the forest trees | B |
| To show above the unwasted stars that pass | B |
| In their old glory O thou God of old | D |
| Grant me some smaller grace than comes to these | B |
| But so much patience as a blade of grass | B |
| Grows by contented through the heat and cold | D |
