A Prayer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCDCD| Oh earth oh dewy mother breathe on us | A |
| Something of all thy beauty and thy might | B |
| Us that are part of day but most of night | B |
| Not strong like thee but ever burdened thus | A |
| With glooms and cares things pale and dolorous | A |
| Whose gladest moments are not wholly bright | B |
| Something of all they freshness and thy light | B |
| Oh earth oh mighty mother breathe on us | A |
| - | |
| Oh mother who wast long before our day | C |
| And after us full many an age shalt be | D |
| Careworn and blind we wander from thy way | C |
| Born of thy strength yet weak and halt are we | D |
| Grant us oh mother therefore us who pray | C |
| Some little of thy light and majesty | D |
