Life Without Health Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFFGHGI| Behold life builded as a goodly house | A |
| And grown a mansion ruinous | B |
| With winter blowing through its crumbling walls | C |
| The master paceth up and down his halls | C |
| And in the empty hours | D |
| Can hear the tottering of his towers | D |
| And tremor of their bases underground | E |
| And oft he starts and looks around | E |
| At creaking of a distant door | F |
| Or echo of his footfall on the floor | F |
| Thinking it may be one whom he awaits | G |
| And hath for many days awaited | H |
| Coming to lead him through the mouldering gates | G |
| Out somewhere from his home dilapidated | I |
