Toil Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCABDEDF| I TOIL I toil as toils a jaded horse | A |
| Around the ever changing changeless track | B |
| From sunrise on to sunset till the mill | C |
| That grinds in flour my heart and soul is still | C |
| And the ropes are loosed and I may leave my course | A |
| And silent alone with the night go back | B |
| To misery and the cruel sleep whose breasts | D |
| Bitter to suck give poisoned milk And this | E |
| Is my life And everything attests | D |
| Hell's fleshless hand that holds me pitiless | F |
