God's Grandeur Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCDCD| The world is charged with the grandeur of God | A |
| It will flame out like shining from shook foil | B |
| It gathers to a greatness like the ooze of oil | B |
| Crushed Why do men then now not reck his rod | A |
| Generations have trod have trod have trod | A |
| And all is seared with trade bleared smeared with toil | B |
| And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell the soil | B |
| Is bare now nor can foot feel being shod | A |
| - | |
| And for all this nature is never spent | C |
| There lives the dearest freshness deep down things | D |
| And though the last lights off the black West went | C |
| Oh morning at the brown brink eastward springs | D |
| Because the Holy Ghost over the bent | C |
| World broods with warm breast and with ah bright wings | D |
