Tears Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADED EDETHANK God bless God all ye who suffer not | A |
More grief than ye can weep for That is well | B |
That is light grieving lighter none befell | B |
Since Adam forfeited the primal lot | A |
Tears what are tears The babe weeps in its cot | A |
The mother singing at her marriage bell | B |
The bride weeps and before the oracle | C |
Of high faned hills the poet has forgot | A |
Such moisture on his cheeks Thank God for grace | D |
Ye who weep only If as some have done | E |
Ye grope tear blinded in a desert place | D |
- | |
And touch but tombs look up I those tears will run | E |
Soon in long rivers down the lifted face | D |
And leave the vision clear for stars and sun | E |
