A Prayer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ACAC DEFE AGAG| Faithful before thee Mother of God now kneeling | A |
| Image miraculous and merciful of thee | B |
| Not for my soul's health nor battles waged beseeching | A |
| Nor yet with thanks or penitence o'erwhelming me | B |
| - | |
| Not for myself my heart with guilt o'erflowing | A |
| Who in my home land e'er a stranger has remained | C |
| No a sinless child upon thy mercy throwing | A |
| That thou protect her innocence unstained | C |
| - | |
| Worthy the highest bliss with happiness O bless her | D |
| Grant her a friend to stand unchanging at her side | E |
| A youth of sunshine and an old age tranquil | F |
| A spirit where together peace and hope abide | E |
| - | |
| Then when strikes the hour her way from earth for wending | A |
| Let her heart break at dawning or at dead of night | G |
| From out thy highest heaven thy fairest angel sending | A |
| The fairest of all souls sustain in heavenward flight | G |
