Faith Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII| She feels outwearied as though o'er her head | A |
| A storm of mighty billows broke and passed | B |
| Whose hand upheld her Who her footsteps led | A |
| To this green haven of sweet rest at last | B |
| What strength was hers unreckoned and unknown | C |
| What love sustained when she was most alone | C |
| - | |
| Unutterably pathetic her desire | D |
| To reach with groping arms outstretched in prayer | E |
| Something to cling to to uplift her higher | D |
| From this low world of coward fear and care | E |
| Above disaster that her will may be | F |
| At one with God's accepting his decree | F |
| - | |
| Though by no reasons she be justified | G |
| Yet strangely brave in Evil's very face | H |
| She deems this want must needs be satisfied | G |
| Though here all slips from out her weak embrace | H |
| And in blind ecstasy of perfect faith | I |
| With her own dream her prayer she answereth | I |
