The Healer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF BGBG CACA HAHA| They come to thee the halt the maimed the blind | A |
| The devil torn the sick the sore | B |
| Thy heart their well of life they find | A |
| Thine ear their open door | B |
| - | |
| Ah who can tell the joy in Palestine | C |
| What smiles and tears of rescued throngs | D |
| Their lees of life were turned to wine | C |
| Their prayers to shouts and songs | D |
| - | |
| The story dear our wise men fable call | E |
| Give paltry facts the mighty range | F |
| To me it seems just what should fall | E |
| And nothing very strange | F |
| - | |
| But were I deaf and lame and blind and sore | B |
| I scarce would care for cure to ask | G |
| Another prayer should haunt thy door | B |
| Set thee a harder task | G |
| - | |
| If thou art Christ see here this heart of mine | C |
| Torn empty moaning and unblest | A |
| Had ever heart more need of thine | C |
| If thine indeed hath rest | A |
| - | |
| Thy word thy hand right soon did scare the bane | H |
| That in their bodies death did breed | A |
| If thou canst cure my deeper pain | H |
| Then art thou lord indeed | A |
