Love Better Than Knowledge Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII JHJFEEO Thou Eternal One look down | A |
Upon an erring child of earth | B |
Thy handiwork with knowledge crown | A |
Or life will seem of little worth | B |
By Thine own light illume my way | C |
And turn this darkness into day | C |
- | |
I hear a whisper in my heart | D |
Than knowledge better far is love | E |
Thy knowledge here is but in part | D |
The perfect waits for Thee above | E |
Walk now by faith and leave to me | F |
The things now wrap'd in mystery | F |
- | |
Weighed down with mysteries profound | G |
I lean upon Thy loving breast | H |
The great unknown still girts me round | G |
But Thou art mine and here I rest | H |
Unsolved the mysteries remain | I |
But they no longer give me pain | I |
- | |
My finite mind may never grasp | J |
The thought of Thy immensity | H |
But I Thy hand more firmly clasp | J |
To feel Thee near suffices me | F |
For Thou art knowledge power and love | E |
The same in earth and heaven above | E |
