The Peace Of God Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDEThe seeking souls by baleful fires made blind | A |
Torn by entrapping brambles thirsty and mad | B |
Hear on the lonely waste the stealthy pad | B |
And half held breath of glaring beasts behind | A |
Then soft hands lead them where the weary find | A |
A refuge from thought's hunting and are glad | B |
Why to their certain misery should they add | B |
They rest secure to freedom's loss resigned | A |
- | |
So in the bitter years when love and age | C |
Sneered at the youth whose sturdy heart withheld | D |
His hand from slaughter till in desperate plight | E |
He flung into the trampling equipage | C |
I have heard him mutter as the music swelled | D |
The peace of God is on me They were right | E |
