Trust Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCBBBCDEEDFFFGGG| The same old baffling questions O my friend | A |
| I cannot answer them In vain I send | A |
| My soul into the dark where never burn | B |
| The lamps of science nor the natural light | C |
| Of Reason's sun and stars I cannot learn | B |
| Their great and solemn meanings nor discern | B |
| The awful secrets of the eyes which turn | B |
| Evermore on us through the day and night | C |
| With silent challenge and a dumb demand | D |
| Proffering the riddles of the dread unknown | E |
| Like the calm Sphinxes with their eyes of stone | E |
| Questioning the centuries from their veils of sand | D |
| I have no answer for myself or thee | F |
| Save that I learned beside my mother's knee | F |
| 'All is of God that is and is to be | F |
| And God is good ' Let this suffice us still | G |
| Resting in childlike trust upon His will | G |
| Who moves to His great ends unthwarted by the ill | G |
