The Idler Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHH| I IDLE stand that I may find employ | A |
| Such as my Master when He comes will give | B |
| I cannot find in mine own work my joy | A |
| But wait although in waiting I must live | C |
| My body shall not turn which way it will | D |
| But stand till I the appointed road can find | E |
| And journeying so his messages fulfil | D |
| And do at every step the work designed | E |
| Enough for me still day by day to wait | F |
| Till Thou who formest me findest me too a task | G |
| A cripple lying at the rich man s gate | F |
| Content for the few crumbs I get to ask | G |
| A laborer but in heart while bound my hands | H |
| Hangidly down still waiting thy commands | H |
