God's Answer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBC DEFDE| Once in a time of trouble and of care | A |
| I dreamed I talked with God about my pain | B |
| With sleepland courage daring to complain | B |
| Of what I deemed ungracious and unfair | A |
| 'Lord I have grovelled on my knees in prayer | A |
| Hour after hour ' I cried 'yet all in vain | B |
| No hand leads up to heights I would attain | B |
| No path is shown me out of my despair ' | C |
| - | |
| Then answered God 'Three things I gave to thee | D |
| Clear brain brave will and strength of mind and heart | E |
| All implements divine to shape the way | F |
| Why shift the burden of thy toil on Me | D |
| Till to the utmost he has done his part | E |
| With all his might let no man DARE to pray ' | - |
