Denial Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBD EDFDG HIHIJ KLMLJ NJNJO PIPII| When my devotions could not pierce | A |
| Thy silent ears | B |
| Then was my heart broken as was my verse | C |
| My breast was full of fears | B |
| And disorder | D |
| - | |
| My bent thoughts like a brittle bow | E |
| Did fly asunder | D |
| Each took his way some would to pleasures go | F |
| Some to the wars and thunder | D |
| Of alarms | G |
| - | |
| As good go any where they say | H |
| As to benumb | I |
| Both knees and heart in crying night and day | H |
| Come come my God O come | I |
| But no hearing | J |
| - | |
| O that thou shouldst give dust a tongue | K |
| To cry to thee | L |
| And then not hear it crying all day long | M |
| My heart was in my knee | L |
| But no hearing | J |
| - | |
| Therefore my soul lay out of sight | N |
| Untuned unstrung | J |
| My feeble spirit unable to look right | N |
| Like a nipped blossom hung | J |
| Discontented | O |
| - | |
| O cheer and tune my heartless breast | P |
| Defer no time | I |
| That so thy favors granting my request | P |
| They and my mind may chime | I |
| And mend my rime | I |
