A Prayer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FDFD GHGH| If many years should dim my inward sight | A |
| Till stirred with no emotion | B |
| I might stand gazing at the fall of night | A |
| Across the gloaming ocean | B |
| - | |
| Till storm and sun and night vast with her stars | C |
| Would seem an oft told story | D |
| And the old sorrow of heroic wars | E |
| Be faded of its glory | D |
| - | |
| Till hearing while June's roses blew their musk | F |
| The noise of field and city | D |
| The human struggle sinking tired at dusk | F |
| I felt no thrill of pity | D |
| - | |
| Till dawn should come without her old desire | G |
| And day brood o'er her stages | H |
| O let me die too frail for nature's hire | G |
| And rest a million ages | H |
