Success Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAAAA ACACDD| What is success In mad soul suicide | A |
| The world's vain spoils rapaciously to seize | B |
| To pamper the base appetite of pride | A |
| And live a lord in luxury and ease | B |
| Is this success whereof so many prate | A |
| To have the Midas touch that turns to gold | A |
| Earth's common blessings to accumulate | A |
| And in accumulation to grow old | A |
| - | |
| Nay but to see and undertake with zest | A |
| The good most in agreement with our powers | C |
| To strive if need be for the second best | A |
| But still to strive and glean the golden hours | C |
| With eyes for nature and a mind for truth | D |
| And the brave loving joyous heart of youth | D |
