Sensitiveness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDCECEFGFH| Time was I shrank from what was right | A |
| From fear of what was wrong | B |
| I would not brave the sacred fight | A |
| Because the foe was strong | B |
| But now I cast that finer sense | C |
| And sorer shame aside | D |
| Such dread of sin was indolence | C |
| Such aim at heaven was pride | D |
| So when my Saviour calls I rise | C |
| And calmly do my best | E |
| Leaving to Him with silent eyes | C |
| Of hope and fear the rest | E |
| I step I mount where He has led | F |
| Men count my haltings o er | G |
| I know them yet though self I dread | F |
| I love his precept more | H |
