Ambition's Trail Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB ACAAC DEDDE| If all the end of this continuous striving | A |
| Were simply to attain | B |
| How poor would seem the planning and contriving | A |
| The endless urging and the hurried driving | A |
| Of body heart and brain | B |
| - | |
| But ever in the wake of true achieving | A |
| There shine this glowing trail | C |
| Some other soul will be spurred on conceiving | A |
| New strength and hope in its own power believing | A |
| Because thou didst not fail | C |
| - | |
| Not thine alone the glory nor the sorrow | D |
| If thou doth miss the goal | E |
| Undreamed of lives in many a far to morrow | D |
| From thee their weakness or their force shall borrow | D |
| On on ambitious soul | E |
