A Thought For A Lonely Death-bed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCE| IF God compel thee to this destiny | A |
| To die alone with none beside thy bed | B |
| To ruffle round with sobs thy last word said | B |
| And mark with tears the pulses ebb from thee | A |
| Pray then alone ' O Christ come tenderly | A |
| By thy forsaken Sonship in the red | B |
| Drear wine press by the wilderness out spread | B |
| And the lone garden where thine agony | A |
| Fell bloody from thy brow by all of those | C |
| Permitted desolations comfort mine | D |
| No earthly friend being near me interpose | C |
| No deathly angel 'twixt my face aud thine | D |
| But stoop Thyself to gather my life's rose | C |
| And smile away my mortal to Divine ' | E |
