Unrecorded Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEBFF GHIIGH JKJKGLJHH MNOMPNQRST UVWHUWUHV XYZXYXA2A2Z B2TNNHTB2HC2C2| I like to think of the many words | A |
| The Master in his early days | B |
| Must have spoken to them of Nazareth | C |
| Words not freighted with life and death | D |
| Piercing through soul and heart like swords | E |
| But gracious greeting and grateful phrase | B |
| The simple speech | F |
| That plain folk utter each to each | F |
| - | |
| Ere over him too darkly lay | G |
| The prophet shadow of Calvary | H |
| I think he talked in very truth | I |
| With the innocent gayety of youth | I |
| Laughing upon some festal day | G |
| Gently with sinless boyhood's glee | H |
| - | |
| I think if he had ever said | J |
| To a mother apart | K |
| Cradling her baby's shining head | J |
| Thy man child is strong of limb and heart | K |
| She must have been from that gladsome day | G |
| Thrilled with enduring pride alway | L |
| Fearless of any future dread | J |
| Knowing the son upon her knee | H |
| Worthy her pain and love would be | H |
| - | |
| Or if by the dusty wayside well | M |
| From the glare and heat | N |
| Of the burning noon a wayfarer sought | O |
| A moment's rest where the palm shade fell | M |
| And he said to him The day is hot | P |
| And your road is rough for wandering feet | N |
| Then I think on his way the pilgrim went | Q |
| As one who has shared in a sacrament | R |
| Feeling no longer on him press | S |
| The burden of his weariness | T |
| - | |
| If he said to a maid The sunset lies | U |
| Redly on Nazareth hills to night | V |
| Each sunset of her life would bring | W |
| A benedictive memory | H |
| Of his haunting face and holy eyes | U |
| Or if to a bridegroom thus in spring | W |
| The wife of thy youth is fair and wise | U |
| So would she ever have seemed to be | H |
| In her husband's sight | V |
| - | |
| If he but bade a passing guest | X |
| His meal to share | Y |
| Would not the one so honored deem | Z |
| Himself of all most highly blessed | X |
| The food he ate heaven's manna rare | Y |
| Or when he to a friend addressed | X |
| A word of thanks for service done | A2 |
| Or homely familiar favor none | A2 |
| Of richer recompense could dream | Z |
| - | |
| No evangelist's golden pen | B2 |
| Wrote them for us | T |
| The words of the Master to those he might meet | N |
| By the carpenter's bench or in Nazareth street | N |
| But in them I think there well might be | H |
| It is surely sweet to fancy thus | T |
| All of the benediction for men | B2 |
| All of the tender humanity | H |
| That leaven the words of his later age | C2 |
| On the holy page | C2 |
