What Man Is There Of You? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ABAB ABAB ABAB| The homely words how often read | A |
| How seldom fully known | B |
| Which father of you asked for bread | A |
| Would give his son a stone | B |
| - | |
| How oft has bitter tear been shed | A |
| And heaved how many a groan | B |
| Because thou wouldst not give for bread | A |
| The thing that was a stone | B |
| - | |
| How oft the child thou wouldst have fed | A |
| Thy gift away has thrown | B |
| He prayed thou heard'st and gav'st the bread | A |
| He cried It is a stone | B |
| - | |
| Lord if I ask in doubt and dread | A |
| Lest I be left to moan | B |
| Am I not he who asked for bread | A |
| Would give his son a stone | B |
