Bridge Of Prayer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GDGD HIHI JDJD| The bridge of prayer from heavenly heights suspended | A |
| Unites the earth with spirit realms in Space | B |
| The interests of those separate worlds are blended | A |
| For those whose feet turn often toward that place | B |
| - | |
| In troubled nights of sorrow and repining | C |
| When joy and hope seem sunk in dark despair | D |
| We still may see above the shadows shining | C |
| The gleaming archway of the bridge of prayer | D |
| - | |
| From that fair height our souls may lean and listen | E |
| To sounds of music from the farther shore | F |
| And through the vapours sometimes dear eyes glisten | E |
| Of loved ones who have hastened on before | F |
| - | |
| And angels come from their Celestial City | G |
| And meet us half way on the bridge of prayer | D |
| God sends them forth full of divinest pity | G |
| To strengthen us for burdens we must bear | D |
| - | |
| Oh you whose feet walk in some shadowed by way | H |
| Far from the scenes of pleasure and delight | I |
| Still free to you hangs this suspended highway | H |
| Where heavenly glories dawn upon the sight | I |
| - | |
| And common paths glow with a grace supernal | J |
| And happiness walks hand in hand with care | D |
| And faith becomes a knowledge fixed eternal | J |
| For those who often seek the bridge of prayer | D |
