Discovery Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBA DDEEFF| We 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 |
