Recompense Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EBEBFF| I saw two sowers in Life's field at morn | A |
| To whom came one in angel guise and said | B |
| Is it for labour that a man is born | A |
| Lo I am Ease Come ye and eat my bread | B |
| Then gladly one forsook his task undone | C |
| And with the Tempter went his slothful way | D |
| The other toiled until the setting sun | C |
| With stealing shadows blurred the dusty day | D |
| - | |
| Ere harvest time upon earth's peaceful breast | E |
| Each laid him down among the unreaping dead | B |
| Labour hath other recompense than rest | E |
| Else were the toiler like the fool I said | B |
| God meteth him not less but rather more | F |
| Because he sowed and others reaped his store | F |
