Time. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDEFF GGHHIIJJ K LLCCMM| Oh Time as it fleets dooms a joy to decay | A |
| From the chaplet of hope steals a blossom away | A |
| Throws a cloud o'er the lustre of life's fairy scene | B |
| And leaves but a thorn where the rosebud had been | C |
| It sullies a link in affection's young chain | D |
| That once slightly tarnished ne'er sparkles again | E |
| Spoils the sheaves that the heart in its summer would bind | F |
| To guard 'gainst a bleak leafless autumn of mind | F |
| - | |
| But a region there is where the buds never die | G |
| Where the sun meets no cloud in his path through the sky | G |
| Where the rose wreath of joy is immortal in bloom | H |
| And pours on the gale a celestial perfume | H |
| Where ethereal melodies steal through the soul | I |
| And the full tide of rapture is free from control | I |
| Oh we've nothing to do in a bleak world like this | J |
| But to toil for a home in that haven of bliss | J |
| - | |

| Added in th mo | K |
| - | |
| Nay toil not saith Jesus but come unto Me | L |
| There's rest for the weary rest even for thee | L |
| I have toiled and have suffered and died for thy sin | C |
| Then only believe and the crown thou shalt win | C |
| The crown of Eternal Life fadeless and bright | M |
| Prepared for all nations who walk in the light | M |
