Work Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBAACDECD| WHAT are we set on earth for Say to toil | A |
| Nor seek to leave thy tending of the vines | B |
| For all the heat o' the day till it declines | B |
| And Death's mild curfew shall from work assoil | A |
| God did anoint thee with his odorous oil | A |
| To wrestle not to reign and He assigns | B |
| All thy tears over like pure crystallines | B |
| For younger fellow workers of the soil | A |
| To wear for amulets So others shall | A |
| Take patience labor to their heart and hand | C |
| From thy hand and thy heart and thy brave cheer | D |
| And God's grace fructify through thee to | E |
| The least flower with a brimming cup may stand | C |
| And share its dew drop with another near | D |
