Sabbath Bells Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDCCD EFEEF GHGGH IOh holy Sabbath bells | A |
Ye have a pleasant voice | B |
Through all the land your music swells | A |
And man with one commandment tells | A |
To rest and to rejoice | B |
- | |
As birds rejoice to flee | C |
From dark and stormy skies | D |
To brighter lands beyond the sea | C |
Where skies are calm and wings are free | C |
To wander and to rise | D |
- | |
As thirsty travellers sing | E |
Through desert paths that pass | F |
To hear the welcome waters spring | E |
And see beyond the spray they fling | E |
Tall trees and waving grass | F |
- | |
So we rejoice to know | G |
Your melody begun | H |
For when our paths are parched below | G |
Ye tell us where green pastures glow | G |
And living waters run | H |
