Life Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBC DDEEC| A crust of bread and a corner to sleep in | A |
| A minute to smile and an hour to weep in | A |
| A pint of joy to a peck of trouble | B |
| And never a laugh but the moans come double | B |
| And that is life | C |
| - | |
| A crust and a corner that love makes precious | D |
| With a smile to warm and the tears to refresh us | D |
| And joy seems sweeter when cares come after | E |
| And a moan is the finest of foils for laughter | E |
| And that is life | C |
