Work And Contemplation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAAAABCCBCC| The woman singeth at her spinning wheel | A |
| A pleasant chant ballad or barcarole | A |
| She thinketh of her song upon the whole | A |
| Far more than of her flax and yet the reel | A |
| Is full and artfully her fingers feel | A |
| With quick adjustment provident control | A |
| The lines too subtly twisted to unroll | A |
| Out to a perfect thread I hence appeal | A |
| To the dear Christian Church that we may do | B |
| Our Father's business in these temples mirk | C |
| Thus swift and steadfast thus intent and strong | C |
| While thus apart from toil our souls pursue | B |
| Some high calm spheric tune and prove our work | C |
| The better for the sweetness of our song | C |
