Work Without Hope Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBB CCDDEEFG| All Nature seems at work Slugs leave their lair | A |
| The bees are stirring birds are on the wing | B |
| And Winter slumbering in the open air | A |
| Wears on his smiling face a dream of Spring | B |
| And I the while the sole unbusy thing | B |
| Nor honey make nor pair nor build nor sing | B |
| - | |
| Yet well I ken the banks where amaranths blow | C |
| Have traced the fount whence streams of nectar flow | C |
| Bloom O ye amaranths bloom for whom ye may | D |
| For me ye bloom not Glide rich streams away | D |
| With lips unbrightened wreathless brow I stroll | E |
| And would you learn the spells that drowse my soul | E |
| Work without Hope draws nectar in a sieve | F |
| And Hope without an object cannot live | G |
