He Who From Fate Receives But Blow On Blow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDE DCD| He who from fate receives but blow on blow | A |
| Who like myself in her disfavour stands | B |
| Although he had a hundred mighty hands | B |
| Would vainly strive for riches here below | A |
| - | |
| His paths are strewn with thorns where'er he go | A |
| And where he looks for home there soon expands | B |
| A sea of woes against its stormy strands | B |
| Waves roll and splash in unremitting flow | A |
| - | |
| Pursued and tossed about by Care by Need | C |
| He finds no peace from worries on his road | D |
| Though to the farthest place his search may lead | E |
| - | |
| And only in the quiet cold abode | D |
| Which after weary life's span is decreed | C |
| Will death relieve him of his toilsome load | D |
