Grief Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDFGG AHIHJJ KLMLNN| What though the Eden morns were sweet with song | A |
| Passing all sweetness that our thought can reach | B |
| Crushing its flowers noon's chariot moved along | A |
| In brightness far transcending mortal speech | B |
| Yet in the twilight shades did God appear | C |
| Oh welcome shadows so that He draw near | C |
| - | |
| Prosperity is flushed with Papal ease | D |
| And grants indulgences to pride of word | E |
| Robing our soul in pomp and vanities | D |
| Ah no fit dwelling for our gentle Lord | F |
| Grief rends those draperies of pride and sin | G |
| And so our Lord will deign to enter in | G |
| - | |
| Then carefully we curb each thought of wrong | A |
| We walk more softly with more reverent feet | H |
| As in His presence chamber hush our tongue | I |
| And in the holy quiet solemn sweet | H |
| We feel His smile we hear His voice so low | J |
| So we can bless Him that He gave us woe | J |
| - | |
| What cares the sailor in the sheltered cove | K |
| For the past peril of the stormy sea | L |
| Dear from grief's storm the haven of His love | M |
| And so He bringeth us where we would be | L |
| We trust in Him we lean upon His breast | N |
| Who shall make trouble when He giveth rest | N |
