A Prayer To Saint Rosa Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBADBDBEFEWhen I am so worn out I cannot sleep | A |
And yet I know I have to work next day | B |
Or lose my job I sometimes have recourse | C |
To one long dead who listens when I pray | B |
I ask Saint Rose of Lima for the sleep | A |
She went without three hundred years ago | D |
When lying on thorns and heaps of broken sherd | B |
She talked with God and made a heaven so | D |
Then speedily that most compassionate Saint | B |
Comes with her gift of deep oblivious hours | E |
Treasured for centuries in nocturnal space | F |
And heavy with the scent of Lima's flowers | E |
