Compassion Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBC DEFGE| He was a failure and one day he died | A |
| Across the border of the mapless land | B |
| He found himself among a sad eyed band | B |
| Of disappointed souls they too had tried | A |
| And missed their purpose With one voice they cried | A |
| Unto the shining Angel in command | B |
| 'Oh lead us not before our Lord to stand | B |
| For we are failures failures Let us hide ' | C |
| - | |
| Yet on the Angel fared until they stood | D |
| Before the Master Even His holy place | E |
| The hideous noises of the earth assailed | F |
| Christ reached His arms out to the trembling brood | G |
| With God's vast sorrow in His listening face | E |
| Come unto Me ' He said 'I too have failed ' | - |
