Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEEDFGGF HIIH JKKJOh yet we trust that somehow good | A |
Will be the final end of ill | B |
To pangs of nature sins of will | B |
Defects of doubt and taints of blood | C |
That nothing walks with aimless feet | D |
That not one life shall be destroy'd | E |
Or cast as rubbish to the void | E |
When God hath made the pile complete | D |
That not a worm is cloven in vain | F |
That not a moth with vain desire | G |
I shrivell'd in a fruitless fire | G |
Or but subserves another's gain | F |
- | |
Behold we know not anything | H |
I can but trust that good shall fall | I |
At last far off at last to all | I |
And every winter change to spring | H |
- | |
So runs my dream but what am I | J |
An infant crying in the night | K |
An infant crying for the light | K |
And with no language but a cry | J |
Alfred Lord Tennyson
