Clasping Of Hands Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABABAA ABABABABAA| LORD Thou art mine and I am Thine | A |
| If mine I am and Thine much more | B |
| Then I or ought or can be mine | A |
| Yet to be Thine doth me restore | B |
| So that again I now am mine | A |
| And with advantage mine the more | B |
| Since this being mine brings with it Thine | A |
| And Thou with me dost Thee restore | B |
| If I without Thee would be mine | A |
| I neither should be mine nor Thine | A |
| - | |
| Lord I am Thine and Thou art mine | A |
| So mine Thou art that something more | B |
| I may presume Thee mine then Thine | A |
| For Thou didst suffer to restore | B |
| Not Thee but me and to be mine | A |
| And with advantage mine the more | B |
| Since Thou in death wast none of Thine | A |
| Yet then as mine didst me restore | B |
| O be mine still still make me Thine | A |
| Or rather make no Thine and Mine | A |
