A Winter Prayer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGHG IJIJ GKGK| Come through the gloom of clouded skies | A |
| The slow dim rain and fog athwart | B |
| Through east winds keen with wrong and lies | A |
| Come and lift up my hopeless heart | C |
| - | |
| Come through the sickness and the pain | D |
| The sore unrest that tosses still | E |
| Through aching dark that hides the gain | D |
| Come and arouse my fainting will | E |
| - | |
| Come through the prate of foolish words | F |
| The science with no God behind | G |
| Through all the pangs of untuned chords | H |
| Speak wisdom to my shaken mind | G |
| - | |
| Through all the fears that spirits bow | I |
| Of what hath been or may befall | J |
| Come down and talk with me for thou | I |
| Canst tell me all about them all | J |
| - | |
| Hear hear my sad lone heart entreat | G |
| Heart of all joy below above | K |
| Come near and let me kiss thy feet | G |
| And name the names of those I love | K |
