Life Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCCB DEDEEFFE| Our lives seem filled with things of little worth | A |
| A thousand petty cares arise each day | B |
| Which bring our soaring thoughts from heaven to earth | A |
| Reminding us that we have feet of clay | B |
| Yet we will not from path of duty stray | B |
| If we amidst them all cleave to the right | C |
| Nor great nor small are actions in His sight | C |
| Through lowly vale He shows our feet the way | B |
| - | |
| Our early dreams may not be realized | D |
| The roseate sky now proves quite commonplace | E |
| The constellations we so highly prized | D |
| Have vanished all nor left the slightest trace | E |
| Of former glory in its azure face | E |
| But high o'er all beams out the polar star | F |
| To guide us safe through rock and sandy bar | F |
| Life is complete and its cap stone is grace | E |
