Prayer To My Lord Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDC EFEFGHHG| If ever Thou didst love me love me now | A |
| When round me beat the flattering vans of life | B |
| Kissing with rapid breath my lifted brow | A |
| Love me if ever when the murmur of strife | B |
| In each dark byway of my being creeps | C |
| When pity and pride passion and passion's loss | D |
| Wash wavelike round the world's eternal cross | D |
| Till 'mid my fears a new born love indignant leaps | C |
| - | |
| If ever Thou canst love me love me yet | E |
| When sweet impetuous loves within me stir | F |
| And the frail portals of my spirit fret | E |
| The love of love that makes Heaven heavenlier | F |
| The love of earth of birds children and light | G |
| Love of this bitter lovely native land | H |
| O love me when sick with all these I stand | H |
| And Death's far rumoured wings beat on the lonely night | G |
