Chance Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCECE| These things wondering I saw beneath the sun | A |
| That never yet the race was to the swift | B |
| The fight unto the mightiest to lift | B |
| Nor favors unto men whose skill had done | A |
| Great works nor riches ever unto one | A |
| Wise man of understanding All is drift | B |
| Of time and chance and none may stay or sift | B |
| Or know the end of that which is begun | A |
| Who waits until the wind shall silent keep | C |
| Will never find the ready hour to sow | D |
| Who watcheth clouds will have no time to reap | C |
| At daydawn plant thy seed and be not slow | E |
| At night God doth not slumber take nor sleep | C |
| Which seed shall prosper thou shalt never know | E |
