Earth's Easter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBC AADADD| Earth has gone up from its Gethsemane | A |
| And now on Golgotha is crucified | B |
| The spear is twisted in the tortured side | B |
| The thorny crown still works its cruelty | C |
| Hark while the victim suffers on the tree | C |
| There sound through starry spaces far and wide | B |
| Such words as in the last despair are cried | B |
| My God my God Thou hast forsaken me | C |
| - | |
| But when earth's members from the cross are drawn | A |
| And all we love into the grave is gone | A |
| This hope shall be a spark within the gloom | D |
| That in the glow of some stupendous dawn | A |
| We may go forth to find where lilies bloom | D |
| Two angels bright before an empty tomb | D |
