Searching Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFF DGGD HFFH IJJI| These quiet Autumn days | A |
| My soul like Noah's dove on airy wings | B |
| Goes out and searches for the hidden things | B |
| Beyond the hills of haze | A |
| - | |
| With mournful pleading cries | C |
| Above the waters of the voiceless sea | D |
| That laps the shore of broad Eternity | D |
| Day after day it flies | C |
| - | |
| Searching but all in vain | E |
| For some stray leaf that it may light upon | F |
| And read the future as the days agone | F |
| Its pleasures and its pain | F |
| - | |
| Listening patiently | D |
| For some voice speaking from the mighty deep | G |
| Revealing all the things that it doth keep | G |
| In secret there for me | D |
| - | |
| Come back and wait my soul | H |
| Day after day thy search has been in vain | F |
| Voiceles and silent o'er the future's plain | F |
| Its mystic waters roll | H |
| - | |
| God seeing knoweth best | I |
| And in His time the waters shall subside | J |
| And thou shalt know what lies beneath the tide | J |
| Then wait my soul and rest | I |
