Through The Valley Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBDDE EFFEGGE HIIJKKE

After James ThomsonA
As I came through the Valley of DespairB
As I came through the valley onmy sightC
More awful that the darkness of the nightC
Shone glimpses of a Past that had been fairB
And memories of eyes that used to smileD
And wafts of perfume from a vanished isleD
As I came through the valleyE
-
As I came through the valley I could seeE
As I came through the valley fair and farF
As drowning men look up and see a starF
The fading shore of my lost Used to beE
And like an arrow in my heart I heardG
The last sad notes of Hope s expiring birdG
As I came through the valleyE
-
As I came through the valley desolateH
As I came through the valley like a beamI
Of lurid lightning I beheld a gleamI
Of Love s great eyes that now were full of hateJ
Dear God dear God I could bear all but thatK
But I fell down soul stricken dead thereatK
As I came through the valleyE
