This World Is All A Fleeting Show. (air.--stevenson.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDCCB EBEEB| This world is all a fleeting show | A |
| For man's illusion given | B |
| The smiles of joy the tears of woe | A |
| Deceitful shine deceitful flow | A |
| There's nothing true but Heaven | B |
| - | |
| And false the light on glory's plume | C |
| As fading hues of even | D |
| And love and hope and beauty's bloom | C |
| Are blossoms gathered for the tomb | C |
| There's nothing bright but Heaven | B |
| - | |
| Poor wanderers of a stormy day | E |
| From wave to wave we're driven | B |
| And fancy's flash and reason's ray | E |
| Serve but to light the troubled way | E |
| There's nothing calm but Heaven | B |
