Preaching Vs Practice Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIJ KLML KNON| It is easy to sit in the sunshine | A |
| And talk to the man in the shade | B |
| It is easy to float in a well trimmed boat | C |
| And point out the places to wade | B |
| - | |
| But once we pass into the shadows | D |
| We murmur and fret and frown | E |
| And our length from the bank we shout for a plank | F |
| Or throw up our hands and go down | E |
| - | |
| It is easy to sit in your carriage | G |
| And counsel the man on foot | H |
| But get down and walk and you'll change your talk | I |
| As you feel the peg in your boot | J |
| - | |
| It is easy to tell the toiler | K |
| How best he can carry his pack | L |
| But no one can rate a burden's weight | M |
| Until it has been on his back | L |
| - | |
| The up curled mouth of pleasure | K |
| Can prate of sorrow's worth | N |
| But give it a sip and a wryer lip | O |
| Was never made on earth | N |
