Work Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDCEE| Let me but do my work from day to day | A |
| In field or forest at the desk or loom | B |
| In roaring market place or tranquil room | B |
| Let me but find it in my heart to say | A |
| When vagrant wishes beckon me astray | A |
| This is my work my blessing not my doom | B |
| Of all who live I am the one by whom | B |
| This work can best be done in the right way | A |

| Then shall I see it not too great nor small | C |
| To suit my spirit and to prove my powers | D |
| Then shall I cheerful greet the labouring hours | D |
| And cheerful turn when the long shadows fall | C |
| At eventide to play and love and rest | E |
| Because I know for me my work is best | E |
