Action Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCCDAAAD EFGFAAAHIIIH| For ever stars are winging | A |
| Their swift and endless race | B |
| For ever suns are swinging | A |
| Their mighty globes through space | B |
| Since by his law required | C |
| To join God's spheres inspired | C |
| The earth has never tired | C |
| But whirled and whirled and whirled | D |
| For ever streams are flowing | A |
| For ever seeds are growing | A |
| Alway is Nature showing | A |
| That Action rules the world | D |

| And since by God requested | E |
| To BE the glorious light | F |
| Has never paused or rested | G |
| But travelled day and night | F |
| Yet pigmy man unseeing | A |
| The purpose of his being | A |
| Demands escape and freeing | A |
| From universal force | H |
| But law is law for ever | I |
| And like a mighty lever | I |
| It thrusts him tow'rd endeavour | I |
| And speeds him on his course | H |
