Words Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAA BBACD ECDE| WORDS are but passing symbols of the deep | A |
| Crying unto deep in individual souls | B |
| And men are words on the great voice that rolls | B |
| Through Nature since that morn when from their sleep | A |
| The elements heard and they who vigil keep | A |
| - | |
| On Heaven's battlements to distant poles | B |
| Re echoed Let light be such voice as tolls | B |
| The birth and death of all who laugh or weep | A |
| Not uniform but in a wondrous plan | C |
| Each diverse from his fellows symbol each | D |
| - | |
| Of varying thought in the eternal mind | E |
| Now at the feet of every age of man | C |
| We sit and learn Haply in perfect speech | D |
| Its voice will be God's message to our kind | E |
