The Gift To Sing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCB DBEEB FBGGB| Sometimes the mist overhangs my path | A |
| And blackening clouds about me cling | B |
| But oh I have a magic way | C |
| To turn the gloom to cheerful day | C |
| I softly sing | B |
| - | |
| And if the way grows darker still | D |
| Shadowed by Sorrow's somber wing | B |
| With glad defiance in my throat | E |
| I pierce the darkness with a note | E |
| And sing and sing | B |
| - | |
| I brood not over the broken past | F |
| Nor dread whatever time may bring | B |
| No nights are dark no days are long | G |
| While in my heart there swells a song | G |
| And I can sing | B |
