Our Daily Bread Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF

Give us this day our daily bread O prayerA
By Jesus taught thou hast become a cryB
For starveling mouths in Famine's ghastly lairA
A beggar's plaint when Dives passes byB
-
We have forsook the Temple of the SoulC
To carp with sordid tradesmen face to faceD
No more we hear the Sinaian thunders rollC
Or Jesus preaching in the market placeD
-
The money changers flaunt their silks and goldE
Within the Temple gates they ply their tradeF
Forgetful of the Voice that cried of oldE
A den of thieves my Father's house is madeF
