A Prayer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CB B DBDB EBAB| Often the western wind has sung to me | A |
| There have been voices in the streams and meres | B |
| And pitiful trees have told me God of Thee | A |
| And I heard not Oh open Thou mine ears | B |
| - | |
| The reeds have whispered low as I passed by | C |
| ' Be strong O friend be strong put off vain fears | B |
| Vex not they soul with doubts God cannot lie ' | - |
| And I heard not Oh open Thou mine ears | B |
| - | |
| There have been many stars to guide my feet | D |
| Often the delicate moon hearing my sighs | B |
| Has rent the clouds and shown a silver street | D |
| And I saw not Oh open Thou mine eyes | B |
| - | |
| Angels have beckoned me unceasingly | E |
| And walked with me and from the sombre skies | B |
| Dear Christ Himself has stretched out hands to me | A |
| And I saw not Oh open Thou mine eyes | B |
