Certitude Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFHII| There was a time when I was confident | A |
| That God's stupendous mystery of birth | B |
| Was mine to know The wonder of it lent | C |
| New ecstasy and glory to the earth | B |
| I heard no voice that uttered it aloud | D |
| Nor was it written for me on a scroll | E |
| Yet if alone or in the common crowd | D |
| I felt myself a consecrated soul | E |
| My child leaped in its dark and silent room | F |
| And cried 'I am ' though all unheard by men | G |
| So leaps my spirit in the body's gloom | F |
| And cries 'I live I shall be born again ' | H |
| Elate with certitude towards death I go | I |
| Nor doubt nor argue since I know I know | I |
