The Earth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHH| I would lie low the ground on which men tread | A |
| Swept by Thy spirit like the wind of heaven | B |
| An earth where gushing springs and corn for bread | A |
| By me at every season should be given | B |
| Yet not the water or the bread that now | C |
| Supplies their tables with its daily food | D |
| But thou wouldst give me fruit for every bough | C |
| Such as Thou givest me and call'st it good | E |
| And water from the stream of life should flow | F |
| By every dwelling that thy love has built | G |
| Whose taste the ransomed of thy Son shall know | F |
| Whose robes are washed from every stain of guilt | G |
| And men would own it was thy hand that blest | H |
| And from my bosom find a surer rest | H |
