A Discovery Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACACACAI thought your search was over So I thought | A |
But you are seeking still Yes even so | B |
Still seeking in mine own despite below | B |
That which in Heaven alone is found unsought | A |
Still spending for that thing which is not bought | A |
Then chase no more this shifting empty show | B |
Amen so bid a drowning man forego | B |
The straw he clutches will he so be taught | A |
You have a home where peace broods like a dove | C |
Screened from the weary world's loud discontent | A |
You have home here you wait for home above | C |
I must unlearn the pleasant ways I went | A |
Must learn another hope another love | C |
And sigh indeed for home in banishment | A |
