Rhyme Scheme: AABCADDEFDEFGHIHSINCE thou hast given me this good hope O God | A |
That while my footsteps tread the flowery sod | A |
And the great woods embower me and white dawn | B |
And purple even sweetly lead me on | C |
From day to day and night to night O God | A |
My life shall no wise miss the light of love | D |
But ever climbing climb above | D |
Man's one poor star man's supine lands | E |
Into the azure steadfastness of death | F |
My life shall no wise lack the light of love | D |
My hands not lack the loving touch of hands | E |
But day by day while yet I draw my breath | F |
And day by day unto my last of years | G |
I shall be one that has a perfect friend | H |
Her heart shall taste my laughter and my tears | I |
And her kind eyes shall lead me to the end | H |
