Reverence Waking Hope Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCCD| A power is on me and my soul must speak | A |
| To thee thou grey grey man whom I behold | B |
| With those white headed children I am bold | B |
| To commune with thy setting and to wreak | A |
| My doubts on thy grey hair for I would seek | A |
| Thee in that other world but I am told | B |
| Thou goest elsewhere and wilt never hold | B |
| Thy head so high as now Oh I were weak | A |
| Weak even to despair could I forego | C |
| The tender vision which will give somehow | D |
| Thee standing brightly one day even as now | D |
| Thou art a very grey old man and so | C |
| I may not pass thee darkly but bestow | C |
| A look of reverence on thy wrinkled brow | D |
