Time Enough Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIHAJKJ ALMLNEOE| I know it is early morning | A |
| And hope is calling aloud | B |
| And your heart is afire with Youth s desire | C |
| To hurry along with the crowd | B |
| But linger a bit by the roadside | D |
| And lend a hand by the way | E |
| Tis a curious fact that a generous act | F |
| Brings leisure and luck to a day | E |
| - | |
| I know it is only the noontime | G |
| There is chance enough to be kind | H |
| But the hours run fast when the noon has passed | I |
| And the shadows are close behind | H |
| So think while the light is shining | A |
| And act ere the set of the sun | J |
| For the sorriest woe that a soul can know | K |
| Is to think what it might have done | J |
| - | |
| I know it is almost evening | A |
| But the twilight hour is long | L |
| If you listen and heed each cry of need | M |
| You can right full many a wrong | L |
| For when we have finished the journey | N |
| We will all look back and say | E |
| On life s long mile there was nothing worth while | O |
| But the good we did by the way | E |
