Eternities Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CBBC DEED| I cannot count the pebbles in the brook | A |
| Well hath He spoken Swear not by thy head | B |
| Thou knowest not the hairs though He we read | B |
| Writes that wild number in His own strange book | A |
| - | |
| I cannot count the sands or search the seas | C |
| Death cometh and I leave so much untrod | B |
| Grant my immortal aureole O my God | B |
| And I will name the leaves upon the trees | C |
| - | |
| In heaven I shall stand on gold and glass | D |
| Still brooding earth's arithmetic to spell | E |
| Or see the fading of the fires of hell | E |
| Ere I have thanked my God for all the grass | D |
