A Wasted Day Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDECDE| Another day let slip Its hours have run | A |
| Its golden hours with prodigal excess | B |
| All run to waste A day of life the less | B |
| Of many wasted days alas but one | A |
| - | |
| Through my west window streams the setting sun | A |
| I kneel within my chamber and confess | B |
| My sin and sorrow filled with vain distress | B |
| In place of honest joy for work well done | A |
| - | |
| At noon I passed some labourers in a field | C |
| The sweat ran down upon each sunburnt face | D |
| Which shone like copper in the ardent glow | E |
| And one looked up with envy unconcealed | C |
| Beholding my cool cheeks and listless pace | D |
| Yet he was happier though he did not know | E |
