Power Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBCDEEDDE| Power that is not of God however great | A |
| Is but the downward rushing and the glare | B |
| Of a swift meteor that hath lost its share | B |
| In the one impulse which doth animate | C |
| The parent mass emblem to me of fate | A |
| Which through vast nightly wastes doth onward fare | B |
| Wild eyed and headlong rent away from prayer | B |
| A moment brilliant then most desolate | C |
| And O my brothers shall we ever learn | D |
| From all the things we see continually | E |
| That pride is but the empty mockery | E |
| Of what is strong in man Not so the stern | D |
| And sweet repose of soul which we can earn | D |
| Only through reverence and humility | E |
