To The Rev. John Saunders On His Departure For England Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBAABCDDDDD| If a large love of the whole human race | A |
| With charity that hopeth a meet cure | B |
| For life s worst evils indicates the grace | A |
| Of goodness thine is such as will endure | B |
| And if pure prayers to stablish what is pure | B |
| Waste not away in the dim voids of space | A |
| But Godward rising pierce heaven s starry face | A |
| Thine have been heard and thy reward is sure | B |
| Farewell This people might be well content | C |
| To part with much beside if so it might | D |
| Keep burning through its mortal glooms unblent | D |
| With earthlier ardours perilous though bright | D |
| Thy eloquent fervour kindling wise intent | D |
| Thy steady flame of purpose in the right | D |
