My Vineyard Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCD EEAAFF GGAAHH IIJJKK KKLLGG| To me at night the stars are vocal | A |
| They say 'Your planet's oh so local | A |
| A speck of dust in heaven's ceiling | B |
| Your faith divine a foolish feeling | B |
| What odds if you are chaos hurled | C |
| Yours is a silly little world ' | D |
| - | |
| For their derision haply true | E |
| I hate the stars as wouldn't you | E |
| But whether earth be great or little | A |
| I do not care a fishwife's spittle | A |
| I do not fret its where or why | F |
| Today's a day and I am I | F |
| - | |
| Serene afar from woe and worry | G |
| I tend my vines and do not hurry | G |
| I buss the lass and tip the bottle | A |
| Fill up the glass and rinse my throttle | A |
| Tomorrow though the earth should perish | H |
| The lust of life today I cherish | H |
| - | |
| Ah no the stars I will not curse | I |
| Though things are bad they might be worse | I |
| So when vast constellations shine | J |
| I drink to them in ruby wine | J |
| For they themselves although it odd is | K |
| Somehow give me a sense that God is | K |
| - | |
| Because we trust and realise | K |
| His love he steers us in the skies | K |
| For faith however foolish can | L |
| Be mighty helpful to a man | L |
| And as I tend my vines so He | G |
| With tenderness looks after me | G |
