Discontent Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF BGBG FHFH IJKJ ABAB| The sun comes up in the east | A |
| And the sun goes down in the west | B |
| And man to me is a heartless beast | A |
| And the world has only a savage breast | B |
| - | |
| How thoughts rush over my soul | C |
| As the waves walk over the sea | D |
| Their forms flee soon and the sorrows roll | C |
| In the deep distress that is over me | D |
| - | |
| How hopes arise in my heart | E |
| As the roses bloom over the plain | F |
| But time is tearing their sweets apart | E |
| And they die in darkness and awful pain | F |
| - | |
| Ambitions burn in my breast | B |
| As the fires in a city rage | G |
| But damp creeps over their fervid zest | B |
| And they sink away into ashen age | G |
| - | |
| If there was pleasure for pain | F |
| I could well be happy awhile | H |
| And O my bosom would ne'er complain | F |
| If my fortune gave me a single smile | H |
| - | |
| But here I am and the curse is on | I |
| And my life is a waste of woe | J |
| And ere one river of tears is gone | K |
| O another torrent begins to flow | J |
| - | |
| Ah the sun comes up in the east | A |
| And the sun goes down in the west | B |
| And man to me is a heartless beast | A |
| And the world has only a savage breast | B |
