The Place Where The Rainbow Ends Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDEFFE GGBHHB CCBIIB JJBCCB KKBCCB| There's a fabulous story | A |
| Full of splendor and glory | A |
| That Arabian legends transcends | B |
| Of the wealth without measure | C |
| The coffers of treasure | C |
| At the place where the rainbow ends | B |
| - | |
| Oh many have sought it | D |
| And all would have bought it | D |
| With the blood we so recklessly spend | E |
| But none has uncovered | F |
| The gold nor discovered | F |
| The spot at the rainbow's end | E |
| - | |
| They have sought it in battle | G |
| And e'en where the rattle | G |
| Of dice with man's blasphemy blends | B |
| But howe'er persuasive | H |
| It still proves evasive | H |
| This place where the rainbow ends | B |
| - | |
| I own for my pleasure | C |
| I yearn not for treasure | C |
| Though gold has a power it lends | B |
| And I have a notion | I |
| To find without motion | I |
| The place where the rainbow ends | B |
| - | |
| The pot may hold pottage | J |
| The place be a cottage | J |
| That a humble contentment defends | B |
| Only joy fills its coffer | C |
| But spite of the scoffer | C |
| There's the place where the rainbow ends | B |
| - | |
| Where care shall be quiet | K |
| And love shall run riot | K |
| And I shall find wealth in my friends | B |
| Then truce to the story | C |
| Of riches and glory | C |
| There's the place where the rainbow ends | B |
