A Wish Rebuked Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE DFDFDF| If one could have a hundred years to live | A |
| After the settlement of youth's unrest | B |
| A hundred years of vigorous life to give | C |
| To the pursuit of what he counted best | B |
| A hundred summers autumns winters springs | D |
| To train and use the forces of his mind | E |
| He might fulfil his fond imaginings | D |
| And lift himself and benefit his kind | E |
| - | |
| O faint of heart to whom this life appears | D |
| Too short for thy ambitious projects He | F |
| Who plied His task in weakness and in tears | D |
| Along the countrysides of Galilee | F |
| And blest the world for these two thousand years | D |
| Did His incomparable work in three | F |
