Buttercups And Daisies Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAA BBB CCC DDD EFF GGG HHH FFF CCC| Buttercups and daisies growing everywhere | A |
| In the field of clover on the hillside fair | A |
| And in lovely valley tilled with greatest care | A |
| - | |
| Naught but weeds and rubbish in the farmer's eyes | B |
| Drawing off the nurture from the grain they prize | B |
| And their great luxuriance sore their patience tries | B |
| - | |
| But the dews of heaven give them richest bloom | C |
| And their smiling beauty drives away our gloom | C |
| For such little beauties surely there is room | C |
| - | |
| In this world of sorrow flowers ne'er bloom in vain | D |
| Though they in their blooming sap the golden grain | D |
| And drink in the moisture of the latter rain | D |
| - | |
| For our Heavenly Father deemed it wise and good | E |
| To diffuse this beauty with the grain for food | F |
| And this wise arrangement He has never rued | F |
| - | |
| Teaching us this lesson we are slow to learn | G |
| Man lives not for eating nor for duties stern | G |
| But to serve God's pleasure then to Him return | G |
| - | |
| Room for joy is given and for purest bliss | H |
| And we may all find them in a world like this | H |
| If our aims are sordid all this gold we miss | H |
| - | |
| But if we are faithful and to God inclined | F |
| Seeing Him in nature and of heavenly mind | F |
| Aiming to be like Him and by grace refined | F |
| - | |
| We shall live forever where there is no gloom | C |
| Though the path to glory leadeth through the tomb | C |
| But a moment's darkness flowers that ever bloom | C |
