Sorrow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEE| Count each affliction whether light or grave | A |
| God's messenger sent down to thee do thou | B |
| With courtesy receive him rise and bow | B |
| And ere his shadow pass thy threshold crave | A |
| Permission first his heavenly feet to lave | A |
| Then lay before him all thou hast allow | B |
| No cloud of passion to usurp thy brow | B |
| Or mar thy hospitality no wave | A |
| Of mortal tumult to obliterate | C |
| The soul's marmoreal calmness Grief should be | D |
| Like joy majestic equable sedate | C |
| Confirming cleansing raising making free | D |
| Strong to consume small troubles to commend | E |
| Great thoughts grave thoughts thoughts lasting to the end | E |
