Burns Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFEF| We read his life of poverty and bane | A |
| From weakness folly error not exempt | B |
| And turn aside with a depressing pain | A |
| Compassion tinged with something like contempt | B |
| We read his work and see his human heart | C |
| His manly mind his true if thwarted will | D |
| And all that's noblest in us takes his part | C |
| And shames our former verdict will or nill | D |
| - | |
| His was a fiery spirit that unbound | E |
| Men's fetters sometimes leading him astray | F |
| He was a seed that fell into the ground | E |
| And brought forth fruit he cast himself away | F |
| Like bread upon the waters and was found | E |
| To nourish worth in many an after day | F |
