Tears Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADED EDE

THANK God bless God all ye who suffer notA
More grief than ye can weep for That is wellB
That is light grieving lighter none befellB
Since Adam forfeited the primal lotA
Tears what are tears The babe weeps in its cotA
The mother singing at her marriage bellB
The bride weeps and before the oracleC
Of high faned hills the poet has forgotA
Such moisture on his cheeks Thank God for graceD
Ye who weep only If as some have doneE
Ye grope tear blinded in a desert placeD
-
And touch but tombs look up I those tears will runE
Soon in long rivers down the lifted faceD
And leave the vision clear for stars and sunE
