Resigning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AB CDDCEFFCGGCHHH| Poor heart what bitter words we speak | A |
| When God speaks of resigning | B |
| - | |
| Children that lay their pretty garlands by | C |
| So piteously yet with a humble mind | D |
| Sailors who when their ship rocks in the wind | D |
| Cast out her freight with half averted eye | C |
| Riches for life exchanging solemnly | E |
| Lest they should never gain the wished for shore | F |
| Thus we O Father standing Thee before | F |
| Do lay down at Thy feet without a sigh | C |
| Each after each our precious things and rare | G |
| Our dear heart jewels and our garlands fair | G |
| Perhaps Thou knewest that the flowers would die | C |
| And the long voyaged boards be found but dust | H |
| So took'st them while unchanged To Thee we trust | H |
| For incorruptible treasure Thou art just | H |
