Sunshine And Shadow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCAA DBDBEEFF AGAGGGHH| Life has its shadows as well as its sun | A |
| Its lights and its shades all twined together | B |
| I tried to single them out one by one | A |
| Single and count them determining whether | B |
| There was less blue than there was grey | C |
| And more of the deep night than of the day | C |
| But dear me dear me my task s but begun | A |
| And I am not half way into the sun | A |
| - | |
| For the longer I look on the bright side of earth | D |
| The more of the beautiful do I discover | B |
| And really I never knew what life was worth | D |
| Till I searched the wide storehouse of happiness over | B |
| It is filled from the cellar well up to the skies | E |
| With things meant to gladden the heart and the eyes | E |
| The doors are unlocked you can enter each room | F |
| That lies like a beautiful garden in bloom | F |
| - | |
| Yet life has its shadow as well as its sun | A |
| Earth has its storehouse of joy and sorrow | G |
| But the first is so wide and my task s but begun | A |
| That the last must be left for a far distant morrow | G |
| I will count up the blessings God gave in a row | G |
| But dear me When I get through them I know | G |
| I shall have little tine left for the rest | H |
| For life is a swift flowing river at best | H |
