The Word Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEFGHIJHKK| Voice of the Holy Spirit making known | A |
| Man to himself a witness swift and sure | B |
| Warning approving true and wise and pure | B |
| Counsel and guidance that misleadeth none | C |
| By thee the mystery of life is read | D |
| The picture writing of the world's gray seers | E |
| The myths and parables of the primal years | F |
| Whose letter kills by thee interpreted | G |
| Take healthful meanings fitted to our needs | H |
| And in the soul's vernacular express | I |
| The common law of simple righteousness | J |
| Hatred of cant and doubt of human creeds | H |
| May well be felt the unpardonable sin | K |
| Is to deny the Word of God within | K |
