The Tower-room Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CDEE FFGG HHII JJKK LLMM| There is a room serene and fair | A |
| All palpitant with light and air | A |
| Free from the dust world's noise and fuss | B |
| God's Tower room in each of us | B |
| - | |
| Oh many a stair our feet must press | C |
| And climb from self to selflessness | D |
| Before we reach that radiant room | E |
| Above the discord and the gloom | E |
| - | |
| So many many stairs to climb | F |
| But mount them gently take your time | F |
| Rise leisurely nor strive to run | G |
| Not so the mightiest feats are done | G |
| - | |
| Well doing of the little things | H |
| Repression of the word that stings | H |
| The tempest of the mind made still | I |
| By victory of the God like will | I |
| - | |
| The hated task performed in love | J |
| All these are stairs that wind above | J |
| The things that trouble and annoy | K |
| Up to the Tower room of joy | K |
| - | |
| Rise leisurely the stairs once trod | L |
| Reveal the mountain peaks of God | L |
| And from its upper room the soul | M |
| Sees all in one united whole | M |
