Soul-sickness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| How many of the body's health complain | A |
| When they some deeper malady conceal | B |
| Some unrest of the soul some secret pain | A |
| Which thus its presence doth to them reveal | B |
| Vain would we seek by the physician's aid | C |
| A name for this soul sickness e'er to find | D |
| A remedy for health and strength decayed | C |
| Whose cause and cure are wholly of the mind | D |
| To higher nature is the soul allied | E |
| And restless seeks its being's Source to know | F |
| Finding not health nor strength in aught beside | E |
| How often vainly sought in things below | F |
| Whether in sunny clime or sacred stream | G |
| Or plant of wondrous powers of which we dream | G |
