At Last Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCBB DDBEEBB FGBHHBB IIBHHBB| What though upon a wintry sea our life bark sails | A |
| What though we tremble 'neath its cruel gales | A |
| Its icy blast | B |
| We see a happy port lie far before | C |
| We see its shining waves its sunny shore | C |
| Where we shall wander and forget the troubled past | B |
| At last | B |
| - | |
| No storms approach that quiet shore no night | D |
| Falls on its silver streams and valleys bright | D |
| And gardens vast | B |
| Within that pleasant land of perfect peace | E |
| Our toil worn feet shall stay our wanderings cease | E |
| There shall we resting all forget the past | B |
| At last | B |
| - | |
| The sorrows we have hid in silent weariness | F |
| As birds above a wounded bleeding breast | G |
| Their bright plumes cast | B |
| The griefs like mourners in a dark array | H |
| That haunt our footsteps here will flee away | H |
| And leave us to forget the sorrowful past | B |
| At last | B |
| - | |
| Voices we loved sound from those far off lands | I |
| And thrill our hearts life's golden sands | I |
| Are dropping fast | B |
| Soon shall we meet by the river of peace and say | H |
| As the night flees before the eye of day | H |
| So faded from our eyes the mournful past | B |
| At last | B |
