Blind Sorrow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF AGAG HIHI| One bitter time of mourning I remember | A |
| When day and night my sad heart did complain | B |
| My life I said was one cold bleak December | A |
| And all its pleasures were but whited pain | B |
| - | |
| Nothing could rouse me from my sullen sorrow | C |
| Because you were not near I would not smile | D |
| And from a score of joys refused to borrow | C |
| One ray of light to gild the weary while | D |
| - | |
| But all the blessing God has given scorning | E |
| I wept because we were so far apart | F |
| And spent my time in idle aimless mourning | E |
| That only kept the grief fresh in my heart | F |
| - | |
| God pity me I know now we were nearer | A |
| With all these intervening miles of space | G |
| That life was sweeter and the future dearer | A |
| Than when to day I met you face to face | G |
| - | |
| God meant to break it gently ease my anguish | H |
| But I rebelled and caviled at His will | I |
| Now seeing His great wisdom though I languish | H |
| In bitter pain I trust His mercy still | I |
