Stay Not In Grief Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACA DEDFG HIHJK LMLLLL| You may grieve on this darkest of days | A |
| You may weep tears of demulcent dew | B |
| And ponder the wonder of God's cruelest ways | A |
| Though ne'er understand their reason or rhyme | C |
| Nor unravel the ruse that he ruthlessly plays | A |
| - | |
| Alone in your anguish your tempest and rain | D |
| Far from the sunshine high summer once brought | E |
| Forlorn in the torture of sadness and pain | D |
| Where lightness and brightness have now disappeared | F |
| Bereft in the wilderness alone once again | G |
| - | |
| Below the clouds drifting blackened and lost | H |
| The soul becomes naked banished and damned | I |
| Mere thoughts become worthless tumbled and tossed | H |
| And all is now nought in a world void of care | J |
| The price you must pay now the grief is the cost | K |
| - | |
| And though in the ending when all has been said | L |
| Nil desperandum as faith shall go on | M |
| And then all the reading has rudely been read | L |
| And all the misleading has surmounted instead | L |
| Yet when all the bleeding has bravely been bled | L |
| Don't grieve for too long or you'll waken the dead | L |
