The Light That Is Felt Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAAC DEDDE FAFFA

A tender child of summers threeA
Seeking her little bed at nightB
Paused on the dark stair timidlyA
'Oh mother Take my hand ' said sheA
'And then the dark will all be light 'C
-
We older children grope our wayD
From dark behind to dark beforeE
And only when our hands we layD
Dear Lord in Thine the night is dayD
And there is darkness nevermoreE
-
Reach downward to the sunless daysF
Wherein our guides are blind as weA
And faith is small and hope delaysF
Take Thou the hands of prayer we raiseF
And let us feel the light of TheeA

John Greenleaf Whittier
