Be Not Weary Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEF GAHAIDJD AKALEMAM| Sometimes when I am toil worn and aweary | A |
| And tired out with working long and well | B |
| And earth is dark and skies above are dreary | A |
| And heart and soul are all too sick to tell | B |
| These words have come to me like angel fingers | C |
| Pressing the spirit's eyelids down in sleep | D |
| 'Oh let us not be weary in well doing | E |
| For in due season we shall surely reap ' | F |
| - | |
| Oh blessed promise When I seem to hear it | G |
| Whispered by angel voices on the air | A |
| It breathes new life and courage to my spirit | H |
| And gives me strength to suffer and forbear | A |
| And I can wait most patiently for harvest | I |
| And cast my seeds nor ever faint nor weep | D |
| If I know surely that my work availeth | J |
| And in God's season I at last shall reap | D |
| - | |
| When mind and body were borne down completely | A |
| And I have thought my efforts were all in vain | K |
| These words have come to me so softly sweetly | A |
| And whispered hope and urged me on again | L |
| And though my labour seems all unavailing | E |
| And all my striving fruitless yet the Lord | M |
| Doth treasure up each little seed I scatter | A |
| And sometime sometime I shall reap the reward | M |
