The Wasted Day Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDECDEAnother 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 |
