Unprofitableness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBCEFGEFHIJKLJK| How rich O Lord how fresh thy visits are | A |
| 'Twas but just now my bleak leaves hopeless hung | B |
| Sullied with dust and mud | C |
| Each snarling blast shot through me and did share | D |
| Their youth and beauty cold showers nipt and wrung | B |
| Their spiciness and blood | C |
| But since thou didst in one sweet glance survey | E |
| Their sad decays I flourish and once more | F |
| Breath all perfumes and spice | G |
| I smell a dew like myrrh and all the day | E |
| Wear in my bosom a full sun such store | F |
| Hath one beam from thy eyes | H |
| But ah my God what fruit hast thou of this | I |
| What one poor leaf did ever I yet fall | J |
| To wait upon thy wreath | K |
| Thus thou all day a thankless weed dost dress | L |
| And when th'hast done a stench or fog is all | J |
| The odor I bequeath | K |
