Gratitude Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCBB DEDEBBFF| I thank thee friend for the beautiful thought | A |
| That in words well chosen thou gavest to me | B |
| Deep in the life of my soul it has wrought | A |
| With its own rare essence to ever imbue me | B |
| To gleam like a star over devious ways | C |
| To bloom like a flower on the drearest days | C |
| Better such gift from thee to me | B |
| Than gold of the hills or pearls of the sea | B |
| - | |
| For the luster of jewels and gold may depart | D |
| And they have in them no life of the giver | E |
| But this gracious gift from thy heart to my heart | D |
| Shall witness to me of thy love forever | E |
| Yea it shall always abide with me | B |
| As a part of my immortality | B |
| For a beautiful thought is a thing divine | F |
| So I thank thee oh friend for this gift of thine | F |
