Question

Is there a rhyming pattern in If by rudyard Kipling

Answer 1

Yes.

  if you can dream and not make dreams your master

 if you can think and not make thoughts your aim

if you can meet with triumph and disaster

and treat those two impostors just the same

The rhyming pattern is - a b a b.

if you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

to serve your turn long after they are gone

and so hold on when there is nothing in you

except the will which says to them hold on.

The rhyming pattern is - a b c b

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

with sixty seconds'worth of distance run

yours is the earth and everything that's in it

and,what is more, you will be a man my son.

The rhyming pattern is - a b a b.
