On His Blindness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBADEFDEFWhen I consider how my light is spent | A |
Ere half my days in this dark world and wide | B |
And that one talent which is death to hide | B |
Lodg'd with me useless though my soul more bent | A |
To serve therewith my Maker and present | C |
My true account lest he returning chide | B |
Doth God exact day labour light denied | B |
I fondly ask But Patience to prevent | A |
That murmur soon replies God doth not need | D |
Either man's work or his own gifts who best | E |
Bear his mild yoke they serve him best His state | F |
Is kingly thousands at his bidding speed | D |
And post o'er land and ocean without rest | E |
They also serve who only stand and wait | F |
