A Prayer Of Time Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BCBC BDBD EE| Move onward Time and bring us sooner free | A |
| From this self clouding turmoil where we ply | B |
| On others' errands driven continually | A |
| O lead us to our own souls ere we die | B |
| - | |
| We toil for that we love not thou concealest | B |
| Our true loves from us all we thirst to attain | C |
| Thou darkly holdest and alone revealest | B |
| A mirror that our sighs for ever stain | C |
| - | |
| Art thou so jealous of our full delight | B |
| Thou takest our strength toil fervour and sweet youth | D |
| And when thou hast taken these thou givest sight | B |
| At last to see and to endure the truth | D |
| - | |
| Thou art too swift to our weak steps but oh | E |
| To our desire thou movest Time how slow | E |
