The Beam Of Devotion Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACAC DEDEAFAG| I never could find a good reason | A |
| Why sorrow unbidden should stay | B |
| And all the bright joys of life's season | A |
| Be driven unheeded away | B |
| Our cares would wake no more emotion | A |
| Were we to our lot but resigned | C |
| Than pebbles flung into the ocean | A |
| That leave scarce a ripple behind | C |
| - | |
| The world has a spirit of beauty | D |
| Which looks upon all for the best | E |
| And while it discharges its duty | D |
| To Providence leaves all the rest | E |
| That spirit's the beam of devotion | A |
| Which lights us through life to its close | F |
| And sets like the sun in the ocean | A |
| More beautiful far than it rose | G |
