Admonition Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGG| Long in the lap of childhood didst thou sleep | A |
| Think how thy youth like chaff did disappear | B |
| Shall life's sweet Spring forever last Look up | C |
| Old age approaches ominously near | B |
| Oh shake thou off the world even as the bird | D |
| Shakes off the midnight dew that clogged his wings | E |
| Soar upward seek redemption from thy guilt | F |
| And from the earthly dross that round thee clings | E |
| Draw near to God His holy angels know | G |
| For whom His bounteous streams of mercy flow | G |
