Homespun Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFFGHHAAIJKKL JMMNNCCAAKKCC| If heart be tired and soul be sad | A |
| As life goes on in homespun clad | A |
| Drab colorless with much of care | B |
| Not even a ribbon in her hair | B |
| Heart broken for the near and new | C |
| And sick to do what others do | C |
| And quit the road of toil and tears | D |
| Doffing the burden of the years | E |
| And if beside you one should rise | F |
| Doubt with a menace in its eyes | F |
| What then | G |
| Why look Life in the face | H |
| And there again you may retrace | H |
| The dream that once in youth you had | A |
| When life was full of hope and glad | A |
| And knew no doubt no dread that trails | I |
| In darkness by and sighs 'All fails ' | J |
| And in its every look and breath | K |
| A shudder old as night that saith | K |
| With something of finality | L |
| 'There is no immortality ' | J |
| Confusing faith who stands alone | M |
| Like a green tree midst woods of stone | M |
| Who feels within itself a change | N |
| Through contact with the dark and strange | N |
| 'T were better with that Dream you knew | C |
| In youth to dream all dreams come true | C |
| And follow Love in homespun clad | A |
| As once you did when but a lad | A |
| And with the trusting heart of youth | K |
| Listened and held them for the truth | K |
| The wondertales Life told to you | C |
| Tales that at last she will make true | C |
