A Vision Of Christ Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEDEFF GBGBGB FHFHBB IJIJKK| There fell on me a dream when days were gray | A |
| And Hope had left me there to grope alone | B |
| Amid the silence of an unknown way | A |
| Vaulted with night and paved with barren stone | B |
| Wherein such awful stillness held the air | C |
| Twere comfort but to breathe one s own despair | C |
| Till in my terror called I Him who bore | D |
| The whole world s sin upon His sinless soul | E |
| Saying O mighty Heart whose Godhead wore | D |
| E en as a garment all our pain and dole | E |
| Touch Thou my soul with fire and let there be | F |
| Some meed of Godhead even unto me | F |
| - | |
| Then from the purple dark I saw arise | G |
| Silent the pale form of the Nazarene | B |
| With deathless light of message in His eyes | G |
| And that vast human pity in His mien | B |
| Purer than purest depths of summer skies | G |
| Not less unfathomed and not less serene | B |
| - | |
| Brother He answered Wilt thou call to Me | F |
| As to a God and worship where I tread | H |
| Cold were the splendour of My victory | F |
| If dowered with Godhead I for man had bled | H |
| Who fell a warrior battling in the van | B |
| To prove to men what man can do for man | B |
| - | |
| For thro all Ages on untrodden ways | I |
| Heart sick and weary in the desperate fight | J |
| Earth shall bring forth the harvest of her days | I |
| Her strong deliverers leading to the light | J |
| And all who follow Truth and who have trod | K |
| Her bitter pathways are the Sons of God | K |
