At The Unitarian Festival Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCBCDEDEDFDFMARCH | A |
- | |
THE waves unbuild the wasting shore | B |
Where mountains towered the billows sweep | C |
Yet still their borrowed spoils restore | B |
And build new empires from the deep | C |
So while the floods of thought lay waste | D |
The proud domain of priestly creeds | E |
Its heaven appointed tides will haste | D |
To plant new homes for human needs | E |
Be ours to mark with hearts unchilled | D |
The change an outworn church deplores | F |
The legend sinks but Faith shall build | D |
A fairer throne on new found shores | F |
