Eternities Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CBBC DEEDI 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 |
