Love, Time, And Will Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCD EEFF GGHH IIJJKK LMNN OOOPQQ

A soul immortal Time God everywhereA
Without within how can a heart despairA
Or talk of failure obstacles and doubtB
What proofs of God The little seeds that sproutB
Life and the solar system and their lawsC
Nature Ah yes but what was Nature's causeD
-
All mighty words are short God life and deathE
War peace and truth are uttered in a breathE
And briefly said are love and will and timeF
Yet in them lies a majesty sublimeF
-
Love is the vast constructive power of spaceG
Time is the hour which calls it into placeG
Will is the means of using time and loveH
And bringing forth the heart's desires thereofH
-
The way is love the time is now and willI
The patient method Let this knowledge fillI
Thy consciousness and fate and circumstanceJ
Environment and all the ills of chanceJ
Must yield before the concentrated mightK
Of those three words as shadows yield to lightK
-
Go charge thyself with love be infiniteL
And opulent with thy large use of itM
'Tis from free sowing that full harvest springsN
Love God and life and all created thingsN
-
Learn time's great value to this mandate bowO
The hour of opportunity is NowO
And from thy will as from a well strung bowO
Let the swift arrows of thy wishes goP
Though sent into the distance and the darkQ
The dawn shall prove thy arrows hit the markQ
