I See Thee Not Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE EEEE FGFG HIHI JKJK| Yes Master when thou comest thou shalt find | A |
| A little faith on earth if I am here | B |
| Thou know'st how oft I turn to thee my mind | A |
| How sad I wait until thy face appear | C |
| - | |
| Hast thou not ploughed my thorny ground full sore | D |
| And from it gathered many stones and sherds | E |
| Plough plough and harrow till it needs no more | D |
| Then sow thy mustard seed and send thy birds | E |
| - | |
| I love thee Lord and if I yield to fears | E |
| Nor trust with triumph that pale doubt defies | E |
| Remember Lord 'tis nigh two thousand years | E |
| And I have never seen thee with mine eyes | E |
| - | |
| And when I lift them from the wondrous tale | F |
| See all about me hath so strange a show | G |
| Is that thy river running down the vale | F |
| Is that thy wind that through the pines doth blow | G |
| - | |
| Could'st thou right verily appear again | H |
| The same who walked the paths of Palestine | I |
| And here in England teach thy trusting men | H |
| In church and field and house with word and sign | I |
| - | |
| Here are but lilies sparrows and the rest | J |
| My hands on some dear proof would light and stay | K |
| But my heart sees John leaning on thy breast | J |
| And sends them forth to do what thou dost say | K |
