A Prayer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBCACBCDEEFDEFGGGH GH| O Thou who seekest me | A |
| Through the day's heartless hurry and uproar | B |
| Who followest me to my thought's farthest shore | B |
| Nay who art gone before | B |
| Sustain me O sustain | C |
| The heart that seeks for thee | A |
| The world is filled with rendings and with pain | C |
| But thou with peace with peace though wronged so sore | B |
| By our despair blind wrath and blind disdain | C |
| And thou hast made it dear | D |
| To hope against the wrongs of every hour | E |
| And given to hope the power | E |
| And passion to prevail | F |
| The heart for all its fear | D |
| Putting forth delicate shy flower on flower | E |
| Against the hard world's hail | F |
| O might my love that in one heart has found | G |
| Such hope to cherish and such joy to sound | G |
| O might it grow through days that chafe and bound | G |
| And our true souls from one another screen | H |
| Till in its clear profound | G |
| Part of thy peace were seen | H |
