Endless Time Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AB CD E FGD HIJ KLTime is endless in thy hands my lord | A |
There is none to count thy minutes | B |

Days and nights pass and ages bloom and fade like flowers | C |
Thou knowest how to wait | D |

Thy centuries follow each other perfecting a small wild flower | E |

We have no time to lose | F |
and having no time we must scramble for a chance | G |
We are too poor to be late | D |

And thus it is that time goes by | H |
while I give it to every querulous man who claims it | I |
and thine altar is empty of all offerings to the last | J |
- | |
At the end of the day I hasten in fear lest thy gate be shut | K |
but I find that yet there is time | L |
