Into The World Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF AHAH IJIJ KLKM NONO NBNB

Out over childhood's bordersA
Manhood's brave banners unfurledB
Weighed down with precepts and ordersA
A boy has gone into the worldB
-
-
Nobody thinks it patheticC
For he is a strong armed youthD
But where is the vision propheticC
To forecast his future with truthD
-
-
No more a child to be pettedE
And sheltered away from the strifeF
Henceforth a man to be frettedG
And worn with the worries of lifeF
-
-
Henceforth a man with othersA
To scramble and push in the raceH
To jostle and crowd with his brothersA
To struggle for gain and placeH
-
-
Now though his heart is breakingI
Henceforth his lids must be dryJ
Now though his soul is achingI
He must not utter a cryJ
-
-
Now if his brain is troubledK
Now if his courage has goneL
Still must his strength be doubledK
Still must the battle go onM
-
-
Now if success shall crown himN
Oh how the world will cheerO
Now if misfortune shall down himN
Oh how the scoffer will jeerO
-
-
Virtue and truth attend himN
Into the vortex whirledB
God and His angels defend himN
A boy has gone into the worldB
