A Spirit Passed Before Me [from Job] Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DEAAA| A spirit passed before me I beheld | A |
| The face of immortality unveiled | A |
| Deep sleep came down on every eye save mine | B |
| And there it stood all formless but divine | B |
| Along my bones the creeping flesh did quake | C |
| And as my damp hair stiffened thus it spake | C |
| - | |
| 'Is man more just than God Is man more pure | D |
| Than He who deems even Seraphs insecure | E |
| Creatures of clay vain dwellers in the dust | A |
| The moth survives you and are ye more just | A |
| Things of a day you wither ere the night | A |
| Heedless and blind to Wisdom's wasted light ' | - |
George Gordon Byron
