The Celestial Surgeon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFFGGHH| IF I have faltered more or less | A |
| In my great task of happiness | B |
| If I have moved among my race | C |
| And shown no glorious morning face | C |
| If beams from happy human eyes | D |
| Have moved me not if morning skies | D |
| Books and my food and summer rain | E |
| Knocked on my sullen heart in vain | E |
| Lord thy most pointed pleasure take | F |
| And stab my spirit broad awake | F |
| Or Lord if too obdurate I | G |
| Choose thou before that spirit die | G |
| A piercing pain a killing sin | H |
| And to my dead heart run them in | H |
