God's Rest. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGAGHIHIJBJB EFEA| I saw God in a dream go by | A |
| As if He trod the phantom air | B |
| Within a hushed eternity | C |
| Dead worlds around Him everywhere | B |
| No sign of life and God asleep | D |
| All things absorbed in Him at last | E |
| Nothing for Him to care for keep | D |
| Since thought from everything had passed | E |
| A mystic vision on its way | F |
| His image filled the awful gloom | G |
| As if His work were o'er for aye | A |
| Himself His own creation's tomb | G |
| As if when sleep fell on Him all | H |
| Sensation with a tremor ceased | I |
| As all things felt the weird recall | H |
| And the gigantic strain released | I |
| The worlds stayed still without a breath | J |
| Entranced within the phantom air | B |
| Since God had done with life and death | J |
| And ta'en Himself from everywhere | B |
| This was His Sabbath In the past | E |
| 'Tis said He rested for a day | F |
| But this was a sleep that would last | E |
| Since He had done with all for aye | A |
