The Pursuit Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEEFEGEHEII| LORD what a busy restless thing | A |
| Hast Thou made man | B |
| Each day and hour he is on wing | A |
| Rests not a span | B |
| Then having lost the sun and light | C |
| By clouds surpris'd | D |
| He keeps a commerce in the night | C |
| With air disguis'd | D |
| Hadst Thou given to this active dust | E |
| A state untir'd | E |
| The lost son had not left the husk | F |
| Nor home desir'd | E |
| That was Thy secret and it is | G |
| Thy mercy too | E |
| For when all fails to bring to bliss | H |
| Then this must do | E |
| Ah Lord and what a purchase will that be | I |
| To take us sick that sound would not take Thee | I |
