Xxiv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBADEFGDH| Let the world's sharpness like a clasping knife | A |
| Shut in upon itself and do no harm | B |
| In this close hand of Love now soft and warm | C |
| And let us hear no sound of human strife | A |
| After the click of the shutting Life to life | A |
| I lean upon thee Dear without alarm | B |
| And feel as safe as guarded by a charm | B |
| Against the stab of worldlings who if rife | A |
| Are weak to injure Very whitely still | D |
| The lilies of our lives may reassure | E |
| Their blossoms from their roots accessible | F |
| Alone to heavenly dews that drop not fewer | G |
| Growing straight out of man's reach on the hill | D |
| God only who made us rich can make us poor | H |
