Our Daily Bread Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIJ| We need no barbarous words nor solemn spell | A |
| To raise the unknown It lies before our feet | B |
| There have been men who sank down into Hell | A |
| In some suburban street | B |
| - | |
| And some there are that in their daily walks | C |
| Have met archangels fresh from sight of God | D |
| Or watched how in their beans and cabbage stalks | C |
| Long files of faerie trod | D |
| - | |
| Often me too the Living voices call | E |
| In many a vulgar and habitual place | F |
| I catch a sight of lands beyond the wall | E |
| I see a strange god s face | F |
| - | |
| And some day this work will work upon me so | G |
| I shall arise and leave both friends and home | H |
| And over many lands a pilgrim go | G |
| Through alien woods and foam | H |
| - | |
| Seeking the last steep edges of the earth | I |
| Whence I may leap into that gulf of light | J |
| Wherein before my narrowing Self had birth | I |
| Part of me lived aright | J |
