Loneliness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF EGEGE HIHICC| A lonely soul According to her lights | A |
| She has lived on mid all our worldly strife | B |
| Thro' that procession of mad days and nights | A |
| That most men lay to waste and call it life | B |
| And men have smiled a little too may be | C |
| At what they deem her eccentricity | C |
| - | |
| 'This have we done and this ' the proud souls cry | D |
| 'In pomp and pageantry vast riches spent | E |
| Builded cathedrals yearning to the sky | D |
| And scattered gold for God's aggrandisement | E |
| That we may be immortalised on earth | F |
| In monuments to our undying worth | F |
| - | |
| 'This we have done and this for we were just | E |
| Captained great armies for the Lord of Hosts | G |
| Left erring brothers bleeding in the dust | E |
| Our enemies and His The worldling boasts | G |
| And boasting dies to seek a meek reward | E |
| From a remote and half envisioned Lord ' | - |
| - | |
| A lonely woman in an empty church | H |
| Upholding faith with humble prayer and song | I |
| Oh that we groundlings had the eyes to search | H |
| And find not emptiness but here a throng | I |
| Invisible Poor prideful minds 'tis we | C |
| Who know earth's bitter loneliness not she | C |
