Doubt And Prayer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| Tho' Sin too oft when smitten by Thy rod | A |
| Rail at 'Blind Fate' with many a vain 'Alas'' | B |
| From sin thro' sorrow into Thee we pass | B |
| By that same path our true forefathers trod | A |
| And let not Reason fail me nor the sod | A |
| Draw from my death Thy living flower and grass | B |
| Before I learn that Love which is and was | B |
| My Father and my Brother and my God | A |
| Steel me with patience soften me with grief | C |
| Let blow the trumpet strongly while I pray | D |
| Till this embattled wall of unbelief | C |
| My prison not my fortress fall away | D |
| Then if Thou willest let my day be brief | C |
| So Thou wilt strike Thy glory thro' the day | D |
Alfred Lord Tennyson
