Take No Thought For The Morrow. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH IJKJ LMNO PQRQ STake no thought for the morrow the Saviour hath said | A |
And he spake as ne'er man spake before | B |
He carried our sorrows was acquainted with grief | C |
And knew well what the heart could endure | D |
- | |
Let the morrow take care for the things of itself | E |
And not by its weight crush thee down | F |
Sufficient to day is the evil thereof | G |
Let the ills of to morrow alone | H |
- | |
Neither boast of to morrow for what is thy life | I |
But a vapor that floateth away | J |
Like a tale quickly told or a dream of the night | K |
That departs at the breaking of day | J |
- | |
Be not like the man who once said in his heart | L |
I have goods that are laid by for years | M |
But scarce had he planned how they best might be stored | N |
When he dies and leaves all to his heirs | O |
- | |
Neither dread then nor boast of to morrow my soul | P |
But make most of the time that's now given | Q |
Be the ground well prepared with good seed sown thereon | R |
And 'twill yield a rich harvest in heaven | Q |
