The One Grief Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBA DEDDED| One grief there is the helpmeet of my heart | A |
| That shall not from me till my days be sped | B |
| That walks beside me in sunshine and in shade | C |
| And hath in all my fortunes equal part | A |
| At first I feared it and would often start | A |
| Aghast to find it bending o'er my bed | B |
| Till usage slowly dulled the edge of dread | B |
| And one cold night I cried How warm thou art | A |
| - | |
| Since then we two have travelled hand in hand | D |
| And lo my grief has been interpreter | E |
| For me in many a fierce and alien land | D |
| Whose speech young Joy had failed to understand | D |
| Plucking me tribute of red gold and myrrh | E |
| From desolate whirlings of the desert sand | D |
