Never Mind Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIHJKLK MNONPKQK| Whatever your work and whatever its worth | A |
| No matter how strong or clever | B |
| Some one will sneer if you pause to hear | C |
| And scoff at your best endeavour | B |
| For the target art has a broad expanse | D |
| And wherever you chance to hit it | E |
| Though close be your aim to the bull's eye fame | F |
| There are those who will never admit it | E |
| - | |
| Though the house applauds while the artist plays | G |
| And a smiling world adores him | H |
| Somebody is there with an ennuied air | I |
| To say that the acting bores him | H |
| For the tower of art has a lofty spire | J |
| With many a stair and landing | K |
| And those who climb seem small oft time | L |
| To one at the bottom standing | K |
| - | |
| So work along in your chosen niche | M |
| With a steady purpose to nerve you | N |
| Let nothing men say who pass your way | O |
| Relax your courage or swerve you | N |
| The idle will flock by the Temple of Art | P |
| For just the pleasure of gazing | K |
| But climb to the top and do not stop | Q |
| Though they may not all be praising | K |
