Mine And Thine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEDF GGHHIIAAJJ| Two words about the world we see | A |
| And nought but Mine and Thine they be | A |
| Ah might we drive them forth and wide | B |
| With us should rest and peace abide | B |
| All free nought owned of goods and gear | C |
| By men and women though it were | D |
| Common to all all wheat and wine | E |
| Over the seas and up the Rhine | E |
| No manslayer then the wide world o'er | D |
| When Mine and Thine are known no more | F |
| - | |
| Yea God well counselled for our health | G |
| Gave all this fleeting earthly wealth | G |
| A common heritage to all | H |
| That men might feed them therewithal | H |
| And clothe their limbs and shoe their feet | I |
| And live a simple life and sweet | I |
| But now so rageth greediness | A |
| That each desireth nothing less | A |
| Than all the world and all his own | J |
| And all for him and him alone | J |
