Perennials Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH| Life is a journey and its fairest flowers | A |
| Lie in our path beneath pride's trampling feet | B |
| Oh let us stoop to virtue's humble bowers | A |
| And gather those which faded still are sweet | B |
| - | |
| These way side blossoms amulets are of price | C |
| They lead to pleasure yet from dangers warn | D |
| Turn toil to bliss this earth to Paradise | C |
| And sunset death to heaven's eternal morn | D |
| - | |
| A good deed done hath memory's blest perfume | E |
| A day of self forgetfulness all given | F |
| To holy charity hath perennial bloom | E |
| That goes undrooping up from earth to heaven | F |
| - | |
| Forgiveness too will flourish in the skies | G |
| Justice transplanted thither yields fair fruit | H |
| And if repentance borne to heaven dies | G |
| 'Tis that no tears are there to wet its root | H |
