Life Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDCEE| Let me but live my life from year to year | A |
| With forward face and unreluctant soul | B |
| Not hurrying to nor turning from the goal | B |
| Not mourning for the things that disappear | A |
| In the dim past nor holding back in fear | A |
| From what the future veils but with a whole | B |
| And happy heart that pays its toll | B |
| To Youth and Age and travels on with cheer | A |
| - | |
| So let the way wind up the hill or down | C |
| O'er rough or smooth the journey will be joy | D |
| Still seeking what I sought when but a boy | D |
| New friendship high adventure and a crown | C |
| My heart will keep the courage of the quest | E |
| And hope the road's last turn will be the best | E |
