The Law Of Laws Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GEHEII BABABB

If we could roll back HistoryA
A century let's sayB
And start from there I'm sure that weA
Would find things as to dayB
In all creation's cosmic rangeC
No vestige of a changeC
-
Turn back a thousand years the sameD
Unchangement we would viewE
Cause and Effect their laws proclaimD
The truest of the trueE
And in life's mechanistic grooveF
The Universe would moveF
-
Grim is the grip of the MachineG
And everything we doE
Designed implacably has beenH
Since earth was virgin newE
We strut our parts as they were writI
That's all there is to itI
-
Curse on such thinking let us playB
At Free Will though we beA
The gnatlike creatures of the dayB
The dupes of DestinyA
The merle is merry in the mayB
Tommorow's time to prayB
