Flowers Without Fruit Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF

Prune thou thy words the thoughts controlA
That o'er thee swell and throngB
They will condense within thy soulA
And change to purpose strongB
-
But he who lets his feelings runC
In soft luxurious flowD
Shrinks when hard service must be doneC
And faints at every woeD
-
Faith's meanest deed more favor bearsE
Where hearts and wills are weighedF
Than brightest transports choicest prayersE
Which bloom their hour and fadeF

John Henry Newman
