Ambition Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDBECFCFGG| I had ambition once Like Solomon | A |
| I asked for wisdom deeming wisdom fair | B |
| And with much pains a little knowledge won | A |
| Of Nature's cruelty and Man's despair | B |
| And mostly learned how vain such learnings were | C |
| Then in my grief I turned to happiness | D |
| And woman's love awhile was all my care | B |
| And I achieved some sorrow and some bliss | E |
| Till love rebelled Then the mad lust of power | C |
| Became my dream to rule my fellow men | F |
| And I too lorded it my little hour | C |
| And wrought for weal or woe with sword and pen | F |
| And wounded many some alas my friends | G |
| Now I ask silence My ambition ends | G |
