Comfort Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCA DDEFFE| Comfort the sorrowful with watchful eyes | A |
| In silence for the tongue cannot avail | B |
| Vex not his wounds with rhetoric nor the stale | B |
| Worn truths that are but maddening mockeries | A |
| To him whose grief outmasters all replies | A |
| Only watch near him gently do but bring | C |
| The piteous help of silent ministering | C |
| Watchful and tender This alone is wise | A |
| - | |
| So shall thy presence and thine every motion | D |
| The grateful knowledge of thy sad devotion | D |
| Melt out the passionate hardness of his grief | E |
| And break the flood gates of thy pent up soul | F |
| He shall bow down beneath thy mute control | F |
| And take thine hands and weep and find relief | E |
