Quiet Work Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCA ADDA EFG EFH| One lesson Nature let me learn of thee | A |
| One lesson which in every wind is blown | B |
| One lesson of two duties kept at one | C |
| Though the loud world proclaim their enmity | A |
| - | |
| Of toil unsever'd from tranquility | A |
| Of labor that in lasting fruit outgrows | D |
| Far noisier schemes accomplish'd in repose | D |
| Too great for haste too high for rivalry | A |
| - | |
| Yes while on earth a thousand discords ring | E |
| Man's fitful uproar mingling with his toil | F |
| Still do thy sleepless ministers move on | G |
| - | |
| Their glorious tasks in silence perfecting | E |
| Still working blaming still our vain turmoil | F |
| Laborers that shall not fail when man is gone | H |
