Humility Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FEFE GHGH| My virtues in Carara stone | A |
| Cut carefully you all my scan | B |
| Beneath I lie a fetid bone | A |
| The marble worth more than the man | B |
| - | |
| If on my pure tomb they should grave | C |
| My vices how the folks would grin | D |
| And say with sympathetic wave | C |
| quot Like us he was a man of sin quot | E |
| - | |
| And somehow he consoled thereby | F |
| Knowing they may though Hades bent | E |
| When finally they come to die | F |
| Enjoy a snow white monument | E |
| - | |
| And maybe it is just as well | G |
| When we from life and lust are riven | H |
| That though our souls should sink to hell | G |
| Our tombs point Destination Heaven | H |
