Today We Make The Poet's Words Our Own Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFGHIJJKK| To day we make the poet's words our own | A |
| And utter them in plaintive undertone | A |
| Nor to the living only be they said | B |
| But to the other living called the dead | B |
| Whose dear paternal images appear | C |
| Not wrapped in gloom but robed in sunshine here | D |
| Whose simple lives complete and without flaw | E |
| Were part and parcel of great Nature's law | E |
| Who said not to their Lord as if afraid | F |
| Here is thy talent in a napkin laid ' | G |
| But labored in their sphere as men who live | H |
| In the delight that work alone can give | I |
| Peace be to them eternal peace and rest | J |
| And the fulfilment of the great behest | J |
| Ye have been faithful over a few things | K |
| Over ten cities shall ye reign as kings | K |
