Unrecorded Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEBFF GHIIGH JKJKGLJHH MNOMPNQRST UVWHUWUHV XYZXYXA2A2Z B2TNNHTB2HC2C2I 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 |
