The Unseen Face Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCEFF| I do beseech thee God show me thy face | A |
| Come up to me in Sinai on the morn | B |
| Thou shall behold as much as may be borne | B |
| And on a rock stood Moses lone in space | A |
| From Sinai's top the vaporous thunderous place | A |
| God passed in cloud an earthy garment worn | B |
| To hide and thus reveal In love not scorn | B |
| He put him in a clift of the rock's base | A |
| Covered him with his hand his eyes to screen | C |
| Passed lifted it his back alone appears | D |
| Ah Moses had he turned and hadst thou seen | C |
| The pale face crowned with thorns baptized with tears | E |
| The eyes of the true man by men belied | F |
| Thou hadst beheld God's face and straightway died | F |
