Discovery Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBA DDEEFFWe told of him as one who should have soared | A |
And seen for us the devastating light | B |
Whereof there is not either day or night | B |
And shared with us the glamour of the Word | C |
That fell once upon Amos to record | A |
For men at ease in Zion when the sight | B |
Of ills obscured aggrieved him and the might | B |
Of Hamath was a warning of the Lord | A |
- | |
Assured somehow that he would make us wise | D |
Our pleasure was to wait and our surprise | D |
Was hard when we confessed the dry return | E |
Of his regret For we were still to learn | E |
That earth has not a school where we may go | F |
For wisdom or for more than we may know | F |
