This Life Which Seems So Fair Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABACDADDEFFThis Life which seems so fair | A |
Is like a bubble blown up in the air | A |
By sporting children's breath | B |
Who chase it everywhere | A |
And strive who can most motion it bequeath | C |
And though it sometimes seem of its own might | D |
Like to an eye of gold to be fixed there | A |
And firm to hover in that empty height | D |
That only is because it is so light | D |
But in that pomp it doth not long appear | E |
For when 'tis most admired in a thought | F |
Because it erst was nought it turns to nought | F |
