After Communion Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBABAABBCACABWhy should I call Thee Lord Who art my God | A |
Why should I call Thee Friend Who art my Love | B |
Or King Who art my very Spouse above | B |
Or call Thy Sceptre on my heart Thy rod | A |
Lo now Thy banner over me is love | B |
All heaven flies open to me at Thy nod | A |
For Thou hast lit Thy flame in me a clod | A |
Made me a nest for dwelling of Thy Dove | B |
What wilt Thou call me in our home above | B |
Who now hast called me friend how will it be | C |
When Thou for good wine settest forth the best | A |
Now Thou dost bid me come and sup with Thee | C |
Now Thou dost make me lean upon Thy breast | A |
How will it be with me in time of love | B |
