In Memoriam A. H. H. Obiit: 124. That Which We Dare Invoke Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFE GHHG IJJI KLLK| That which we dare invoke to bless | A |
| Our dearest faith our ghastliest doubt | B |
| He They One All within without | B |
| The Power in darkness whom we guess | A |
| I found Him not in world or sun | C |
| Or eagle's wing or insect's eye | D |
| Nor thro' the questions men may try | D |
| The petty cobwebs we have spun | C |
| If e'er when faith had fall'n asleep | E |
| I heard a voice Believe no more | F |
| And heard an ever breaking shore | F |
| That tumbled in the Godless deep | E |
| - | |
| A warmth within the breast would melt | G |
| The freezing reason's colder part | H |
| And like a man in wrath the heart | H |
| Stood up and answer'd I have felt | G |
| - | |
| No like a child in doubt and fear | I |
| But that blind clamour made me wise | J |
| Then was I as a child that cries | J |
| But crying knows his father near | I |
| - | |
| And what I am beheld again | K |
| What is and no man understands | L |
| And out of darkness came the hands | L |
| That reach thro' nature moulding men | K |
Alfred Lord Tennyson
