Pain's Purpose Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCDEE| How blind is he who prays that God will send | A |
| All pain from earth Pain has its use and place | B |
| Its ministry of holiness and grace | B |
| The darker tones upon the canvas blend | A |
| With light and colour and their shadows lend | A |
| The painting half its dignity Efface | B |
| The sombre background and you lose all trace | B |
| Of that perfection which is true art's trend | A |
| - | |
| Life is an artist seeking to reveal | C |
| God's majesty and beauty in each soul | D |
| If from the palette mortal man could steal | C |
| The precious pigment pain why then the scroll | D |
| Would glare with colours meaningless and bright | E |
| Or show an empty canvas blurred with light | E |
