A Prayer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEBFGHGIGJKLKMKNO PQROMANASATIUIVI| LADY in thy proud eyes | A |
| There is a weary look | B |
| As if the spirit we know through them | C |
| Were daunted with rebuke | D |
| To think that the heart of man henceforth | E |
| Is read like a read book | B |
| Lady in thy lifted face | F |
| The solitude is sore | G |
| The true solitude follows the crowd | H |
| Will it be less or more | G |
| When the words have been spoken to thee | I |
| Which my heart is seeking for | G |
| Lady canst thou not guess | J |
| The words which my thoughts seek | K |
| Perhaps thou deem'st them well to spurn | L |
| And better not to speak | K |
| Oh thou must know my love is strong | M |
| Hearing my voice so weak | K |
| Lady ah go not thus | N |
| Lady give ear again | O |
| Lady oh learn from me that yet | P |
| There may one thing remain | Q |
| Which stands not in the knowledge thou hast | R |
| And in thy lore of men | O |
| Lady the darkness lasteth long | M |
| Ere the dawn touch the skies | A |
| Many are the leagues of wilderness | N |
| Till ye come where the green lies | A |
| Nay often betwixt doubt and doubt | S |
| Death whispers and makes wise | A |
| Lady has not my thought | T |
| Dared much For I would be | I |
| The ending of darkness and the dawn | U |
| Of a new day to thee | I |
| And thine oasis and thy place of rest | V |
| And thy time of peace lady | I |
