Mine And Thine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEDF GGHHIIAAJJTwo 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 |
