Punishment Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDDCCD| Mourner that dost deserve thy mournfulness | A |
| Call thyself punished call the earth thy hell | B |
| Say God is angry and I earned it well | B |
| I would not have him smile on wickedness | A |
| - | |
| Say this and straightway all thy grief grows less | A |
| God rules at least I find as prophets tell | B |
| And proves it in this prison then thy cell | B |
| Smiles with an unsuspected loveliness | A |
| - | |
| A prison and yet from door and window bar | C |
| I catch a thousand breaths of his sweet air | D |
| Even to me his days and nights are fair | D |
| He shows me many a flower and many a star | C |
| And though I mourn and he is very far | C |
| He does not kill the hope that reaches there | D |
