Measuring The Graves Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED EFEF EGEG HIHI EJEK LML

First old Minna bent and lowlyA
Eyes with weeping nearly blindB
Pessyeh Tsvaitel slowly slowlyA
With the yarn creeps on behindB
-
On the holy book of MinnaC
Fall the tear drops scarce a wordD
For the heart is moved within herE
Of her praying can be heardD
-
Mighty Lord whose sovereign pleasureE
Made all worlds and men of dustF
I Thy humble handmaid measureE
God the dwellings of the justF
-
Speechless here the ground they cumberE
Where the pious gracious GodG
Where Thy heart's beloved slumberE
Underneath the quiet sodG
-
They who sing in jubilationH
Lord before Thy holy seatI
Each one from his habitationH
Through the dream for ever sweetI
-
From the yarn with which I measureE
Pessyeh Tsvaitel filled with aweJ
Wicks will make to search the treasureE
Nightly of Thy holy LawK
-
Praying still by faith sustainedL
'Thou with whom the holy dwellM
Scorn not Jacob's prayer unfeignedL
Mark the tears of Israel '-
