America's Prosperity Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE| They tell me thou art rich my country gold | A |
| In glittering flood has poured into thy chest | B |
| Thy flocks and herds increase thy barns are pressed | B |
| With harvest and thy stores can hardly hold | A |
| Their merchandise unending trains are rolled | A |
| Along thy network rails of East and West | B |
| Thy factories and forges never rest | B |
| Thou art enriched in all things bought and sold | A |
| - | |
| But dost thou prosper Better news I crave | C |
| O dearest country is it well with thee | D |
| Indeed and is thy soul in health | E |
| A nobler people hearts more wisely brave | C |
| And thoughts that lift men up and make them free | D |
| These are prosperity and vital wealth | E |
