My Choice Pope Quatrain

pope-ONE DAY AT A TIME Sad is the heart so full of care Of tomorrow's what will,will be, Upon his sleeve,all life does wear, For all to see Cast down,choking with eyes that blear No words can comfort or make free, Thought frozen in yesterday's fear, That none can see. inspired by Mt 6:25-34 A 'pope' is a quatrain form of 3 lines of 8 syllables and 1 line of 4 (offset)with a rhyming scheme of a,b,a.b and is labelled such after the English poet,Alexander Pope(1688-1744) His poem Solitude in which he imitates Abraham Crawley and for which he was indebted to Horace is the inspiration for this form. My version can be a single quatrain or double or a sequence of stanzas as in Pope's example.
