Hack And Hew Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JKLK MNON KPQP AMEM RSFT UKLK| Hack and Hew were the sons of God | A |
| In the earlier earth than now | B |
| One at his right hand one at his left | C |
| To obey as he taught them how | B |
| - | |
| And Hack was blind and Hew was dumb | D |
| But both had the wild wild heart | E |
| And God's calm will was their burning will | F |
| And the gist of their toil was art | E |
| - | |
| They made the moon and the belted stars | G |
| They set the sun to ride | H |
| They loosed the girdle and veil of the sea | I |
| The wind and the purple tide | H |
| - | |
| Both flower and beast beneath their hands | J |
| To beauty and speed outgrew | K |
| The furious fumbling hand of Hack | L |
| And the glorying hand of Hew | K |
| - | |
| Then fire and clay they fashioned a man | M |
| And painted him rosy brown | N |
| And God himself blew hard in his eyes | O |
| Let them burn till they smoulder down | N |
| - | |
| And There said Hack and There thought Hew | K |
| We'll rest for our toil is done | P |
| But Nay the Master Workman said | Q |
| For your toil is just begun | P |
| - | |
| And ye who served me of old as God | A |
| Shall serve me anew as man | M |
| Till I compass the dream that is in my heart | E |
| And perfect the vaster plan | M |
| - | |
| And still the craftsman over his craft | R |
| In the vague white light of dawn | S |
| With God's calm will for his burning will | F |
| While the mounting day comes on | T |
| - | |
| Yearning wind swift indolent wild | U |
| Toils with those shadowy two | K |
| The faltering restless hand of Hack | L |
| And the tireless hand of Hew | K |
