A Psalm of Life, How Rhyme Scheme and Stanza Structure Emphasize Poem

In A Psalm of Life written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, he rhymes the words that emphasize meaning of the points he makes. Longfellow also makes the writing more simplistic for someone trying to dissect it because of the breakdown into stanzas that he uses. Because of the rhyme scheme that he uses to describe several stanzas, it makes the poem more entertaining to read with creative mixtures of words and details. It would be much longer and more complicated if he had mixed every line of writing into a paragraph. However, Longfellow wrote the piece so that each line could be interpreted in a certain way and share meaning that he believed was how life should be lived.
