Bread Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEGHH| Long do we live upon the husks of corn | A |
| While 'neath untasted lie the kernels still | B |
| Heirs of the kingdom but in Christ unborn | A |
| Fain with swine's food would we our hunger fill | B |
| We eat but 'tis not of the bread from heaven | C |
| We drink but 'tis not from the stream of life | D |
| Our swelling actions want the little leaven | C |
| To make them with the sighed for blessing rife | D |
| We wait unhappy on a stranger's board | E |
| While we the master's friend by right should live | F |
| Enjoy with him the fruits our labors stored | E |
| And to the poor with him the pittance give | G |
| No more to want the long expected heir | H |
| With Christ the Father's love forevermore to share | H |
