Catholicism Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA C DDCEF FEGHH GIJJI KLLKM NNM| HAST thou not seen the tints unfold | A |
| From earth sky sea and setting sun | B |
| When all the glare of day was done | B |
| And melt in one long stream of gold | A |
| - | |
| So down the dim lit glades of time | C |
| - | |
| Age after age things divers blend | D |
| Each working for the same great end | D |
| And in its working each sublime | C |
| Was it in vain that Buddha taught | E |
| Or that Mohammed lived and died | F |
| - | |
| Have they not working side by side | F |
| In differing climes God's purpose wrought | E |
| O Christian sage who lov'st thy creeds | G |
| Think not the ropes that bind thee fast | H |
| Like storm tossed sailor to the mast | H |
| - | |
| Can answer yet each brother's needs | G |
| And rail not thou at those half known | I |
| Who groping thro' a darker night | J |
| Have found perhaps a dimmer light | J |
| Than that thou sternly call'st thine own | I |
| - | |
| - | |
| Wouldst thou have spent like them thy youth | K |
| Thy manhood and thy weak old age | L |
| In one long search thro' nature's page | L |
| An unassisted search for truth | K |
| Oh dream not the Almighty's powers | M |
| - | |
| Must ever work in one known way | N |
| Nor think those planets have no day | N |
| Whose suns are other suns than ours | M |
