Praise And Prayer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECFE| DOUBT spake no word in me as there I kneeled | A |
| Loathing I could not praise I could not thank | B |
| God for the cup of evil that I drank | B |
| I dared not cry upon His strength to shield | A |
| My soul from weapons it was bent to wield | A |
| Itself against itself And so I sank | B |
| Into the furnished phrases smooth and blank | B |
| Which we all learn in childhood and did yield | A |
| A barren prayer for life My voice might mix | C |
| With hers but mingled not Hers was a full | D |
| Grand burst of music which the crown d Seven | E |
| Must have leaned sideways from their seats to fix | C |
| In their calm minds The seraph songs fell dull | F |
| Doubtless when heard again throughout all heaven | E |
