Dedication Hymn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABC DDEE FFGG HHII| The perfect world by Adam trod | A |
| Was the first temple built by God | A |
| His fiat laid the corner stone | B |
| And heav'd its pillars one by one | C |
| - | |
| He hung its starry roof on high | D |
| The broad illimitable sky | D |
| He spread its pavement green and bright | E |
| And curtain'd it with morning light | E |
| - | |
| The mountains in their places stood | F |
| The sea the sky and all was good | F |
| And when its first pure praises rang | G |
| The morning stars together sang | G |
| - | |
| Lord 'tis not ours to make the sea | H |
| And earth and sky a house for thee | H |
| But in thy sight our off'ring stands | I |
| A humbler temple made with hands | I |
