The Quest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEEE EEEEEE| I sought Him on the purple seas | A |
| I sought Him on the peaks aflame | B |
| Amid the gloom of giant trees | A |
| And canyons lone I called His name | B |
| The wasted ways of earth I trod | C |
| In vain In vain I found not God | C |
| - | |
| I sought Him in the hives of men | D |
| The cities grand the hamlets gray | E |
| The temples old beyond my ken | D |
| The tabernacles of to day | E |
| All life that is from cloud to clod | E |
| I sought Alas I found not God | E |
| - | |
| Then after roamings far and wide | E |
| In streets and seas and deserts wild | E |
| I came to stand at last beside | E |
| The death bed of my little child | E |
| Lo as I bent beneath the rod | E |
| I raised my eyes and there was God | E |
