The Audit Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GG| Mere living wears the most of life away | A |
| Even the lilies take thought for many things | B |
| For frost in April and for drought in May | A |
| And from no careless heart the skylark sings | B |
| - | |
| Those cheap utilities of rain and sun | C |
| Describe the foolish circle of our years | D |
| Until death takes us doing all undone | C |
| And there's an end at last to hopes and fears | D |

| Though song be hollow and no dreams come true | E |
| Still songs and dreams are better than the truth | F |
| But there's so much to get so much to do | E |
| Mary must drudge like Martha dainty Ruth | F |

| Forget the morning music in the corn | G |
| And Rachel grudge when Leah's boys are born | G |
