The Lilies Of The Field Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDADEEFGGF| Flowers when the Saviour's calm benignant eye | A |
| Fell on your gentle beauty when from you | B |
| That heavenly lesson for all hearts He drew | B |
| Eternal universal as the sky | A |
| Then in the bosom of your purity | C |
| A voice He set as in a temple shrine | D |
| That life's quick travellers ne'er might pass you by | A |
| Unwarn'd of that sweet oracle divine | D |
| And though too oft its low celestial sound | E |
| By the harsh notes of work day care is drown'd | E |
| And the loud steps of vain unlistening haste | F |
| Yet the great Ocean hath no tone of power | G |
| Mightier to reach the soul in thought's hush'd hour | G |
| Than yours meek lilies chosen thus and graced | F |
