I Have A King Who Does Not Speak; Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDEFGE HHGGGG| I have a king who does not speak | A |
| So wondering thro' the hours meek | A |
| I trudge the day away | B |
| Half glad when it is night and sleep | C |
| If haply thro' a dream to peep | C |
| In parlors shut by day | B |
| - | |
| And if I do when morning comes | D |
| It is as if a hundred drums | D |
| Did round my pillow roll | E |
| And shouts fill all my childish sky | F |
| And bells keep saying 'victory' | G |
| From steeples in my soul | E |
| - | |
| And if I don't the little Bird | H |
| Within the Orchard is not heard | H |
| And I omit to pray | G |
| 'Father thy will be done' to day | G |
| For my will goes the other way | G |
| And it were perjury | G |
