The Son Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Father I wait thy word The sun doth stand | A |
| Beneath the mingling line of night and day | B |
| A listening servant waiting thy command | A |
| To roll rejoicing on its silent way | B |
| The tongue of time abides the appointed hour | C |
| Till on our ear its silent warnings fall | D |
| The heavy cloud withholds the pelting shower | C |
| Then every drop speeds onward at thy call | D |
| The bird reposes on the yielding bough | E |
| With breast unswollen by the tide of song | F |
| So does my spirit wait thy presence now | E |
| To pour thy praise in quickening life along | F |
| Chiding with voice divine man s lengthened sleep | G |
| While round the Unuttered Word and Love their vigils keep | G |
