A Cry Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFFEGGHHIIJJ EEEEKKLL| Lord hear my discontent all blank I stand | A |
| A mirror polished by thy hand | A |
| Thy sun's beams flash and flame from me | B |
| I cannot help it here I stand there he | B |
| To one of them I cannot say | C |
| Go and on yonder water play | C |
| Nor one poor ragged daisy can I fashion | D |
| I do not make the words of this my limping passion | D |
| If I should say Now I will think a thought | E |
| Lo I must wait unknowing | F |
| What thought in me is growing | F |
| Until the thing to birth be brought | E |
| Nor know I then what next will come | G |
| From out the gulf of silence dumb | G |
| I am the door the thing will find | H |
| To pass into the general mind | H |
| I cannot say I think | I |
| I only stand upon the thought well's brink | I |
| From darkness to the sun the water bubbles up | J |
| lift it in my cup | J |
| Thou only thinkest I am thought | E |
| Me and my thought thou thinkest Nought | E |
| Am I but as a fountain spout | E |
| From which thy water welleth out | E |
| Thou art the only one the all in all | K |
| Yet when my soul on thee doth call | K |
| And thou dost answer out of everywhere | L |
| I in thy allness have my perfect share | L |
