Our Crown Of Praise Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDEA PRAISE beyond all other praise of ours | A |
This nation holds in jealous trust for him | B |
Who may approve himself even in these dim | B |
Swift days of destiny the soul that towers | A |
Above the turmoil of contending powers | A |
A beacon firm while seas of fury brim | B |
The world's long labored fields and vineyards trim | B |
Remembering forests and unconscious flowers | A |
Our nation longs for such a living light | C |
Kindred to stars and their eternal dreams | D |
A steadfast glow whatever breakers roll | E |
Cleaving confusions of the stormy night | C |
With gracious lusters and revealing gleams | D |
Longs for the shining of a Lincoln soul | E |
