At Last Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD AEAE FGFG GHGH IJIJ AKAKWhen on my day of life the night is falling | A |
And in the winds from unsunned spaces blown | B |
I hear far voices out of darkness calling | A |
My feet to paths unknown | B |
- | |
Thou who hast made my home of life so pleasant | C |
Leave not its tenant when its walls decay | D |
O Love Divine O Helper ever present | C |
Be Thou my strength and stay | D |
- | |
Be near me when all else is from me drifting | A |
Earth sky home's pictures days of shade and shine | E |
And kindly faces to my own uplifting | A |
The love which answers mine | E |
- | |
I have but Thee my Father let Thy spirit | F |
Be with me then to comfort and uphold | G |
No gate of pearl no branch of palm I merit | F |
Nor street of shining gold | G |
- | |
Suffice it if my good and ill unreckoned | G |
And both forgiven through Thy abounding grace | H |
I find myself by hands familiar beckoned | G |
Unto my fitting place | H |
- | |
Some humble door among Thy many mansions | I |
Some sheltering shade where sin and striving cease | J |
And flows forever through heaven's green expansions | I |
The river of Thy peace | J |
- | |
There from the music round about me stealing | A |
I fain would learn the new and holy song | K |
And find at last beneath Thy trees of healing | A |
The life for which I long | K |
John Greenleaf Whittier
