God's Garden Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABAACADEFAG HIBIJAJAKAJA HJHJJBJBLAAAGod made a beatous garden | A |
With lovely flowers strown | A |
But one straight narrow pathway | B |
That was not overgrown | A |
And to this beauteous garden | A |
He brought mankind to live | C |
And said 'To you my children | A |
These lovely flowers I give | D |
Prune ye my vines and fig trees | E |
With care my flowerets tend | F |
But keep the pathway open | A |
Your home is at the end ' | G |
- | |
Then came another master | H |
Who did not love mankind | I |
And planted on the pathway | B |
Gold flowers for them to find | I |
And mankind saw the bright flowers | J |
That glitt'ring in the sun | A |
Quite hid the thorns of av'rice | J |
That poison blood and bone | A |
And far off many wandered | K |
And when life's night came on | A |
They still were seeking gold flowers | J |
Lost helpless and alone | A |
- | |
- | |
O cease to heed the glamour | H |
That blinds your foolish eyes | J |
Look upward to the glitter | H |
Of stars in God's clear skies | J |
Their ways are pure and harmless | J |
And will not lead astray | B |
Bid aid your erring footsteps | J |
To keep the narrow way | B |
And when the sun shines brightly | L |
Tend flowers that God has given | A |
And keep the pathway open | A |
That leads you on to heaven | A |
