To Life Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBCB DEDF GHGH

O life with the sad seared faceA
nbsp nbsp nbsp I weary of seeing theeB
And thy draggled cloak and thy hobbling paceA
nbsp nbsp nbsp And thy too forced pleasantryB
-
nbsp nbsp nbsp I know what thou would'st tellC
nbsp nbsp nbsp Of Death Time DestinyB
I have known it long and know too wellC
nbsp nbsp nbsp What it all means for meB
-
nbsp nbsp nbsp But canst thou not arrayD
nbsp nbsp nbsp Thyself in rare disguiseE
And feign like truth for one mad dayD
nbsp nbsp nbsp That Earth is ParadiseF
-
nbsp nbsp nbsp I'll tune me to the moodG
nbsp nbsp nbsp And mumm with thee till eveH
And maybe what as interludeG
nbsp nbsp nbsp I feign I shall believeH
