Content Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACA ADADA ABACA AEAEA AFAFA AGAGA AHAHA| When I behold how some pursue | A |
| Fame that is Care's embodiment | B |
| Or fortune whose false face looks true | A |
| An humble home with sweet content | C |
| Is all I ask for me and you | A |
| - | |
| An humble home where pigeons coo | A |
| Whose path leads under breezy lines | D |
| Of frosty berried cedars to | A |
| A gate one mass of trumpet vines | D |
| Is all I ask for me and you | A |
| - | |
| A garden which all summer through | A |
| The roses old make redolent | B |
| And morning glories gay of hue | A |
| And tansy with its homely scent | C |
| Is all I ask for me and you | A |
| - | |
| An orchard that the pippins strew | A |
| From whose bruised gold the juices spring | E |
| A vineyard where the grapes hang blue | A |
| Wine big and ripe for vintaging | E |
| Is all I ask for me and you | A |
| - | |
| A lane that leads to some far view | A |
| Of forest or of fallow land | F |
| Bloomed o'er with rose and meadow rue | A |
| Each with a bee in its hot hand | F |
| Is all I ask for me and you | A |
| - | |
| At morn a pathway deep with dew | A |
| And birds to vary time and tune | G |
| At eve a sunset avenue | A |
| And whippoorwills that haunt the moon | G |
| Is all I ask for me and you | A |
| - | |
| Dear heart with wants so small and few | A |
| And faith that's better far than gold | H |
| A lowly friend a child or two | A |
| To care for us when we are old | H |
| Is all I ask for me and you | A |
