He Was Acquainted With Grief Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| I cannot tell the sorrows that I feel | A |
| By the night's darkness by the prison's gloom | B |
| There is no sight that can the death reveal | A |
| The spirit suffers in a living tomb | B |
| There is no sound of grief that mourners raise | C |
| No moaning of the wind or dirge like sea | D |
| Nor hymns though prophet tones inspire the lays | C |
| That can the spirit's grief awake in thee | D |
| Thou too must suffer as it suffers here | E |
| The death in Christ to know the Father's love | F |
| Then in the strains that angels love to hear | E |
| Thou too shalt hear the Spirit's song above | F |
| And learn in grief what these can never tell | G |
| A note too deep for earthly voice to swell | G |
