Patience Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EEF GHHI| PATIENCE and I have traveled hand in hand | A |
| So many days that I have grown to trace | B |
| The lines of sad sweet beauty in her face | B |
| And all its veiled depths to understand | A |
| - | |
| Not beautiful is she to eyes profane | C |
| Silent and unrevealed her holy charms | D |
| But like a mother's her serene strong arms | D |
| Uphold my footsteps on the path of pain | C |
| - | |
| I long to cry her soft voice whispers 'Nay ' | - |
| I seek to fly but she restrains my feet | E |
| In wisdom stern yet in compassion sweet | E |
| She guides my helpless wanderings day by day | F |
| - | |
| O my Beloved life's golden visions fade | G |
| And one by one life's phantom joys depart | H |
| They leave a sudden darkness in the heart | H |
| And patience fills their empty place instead | I |
