The Necessitarian Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CACA DADA EFEF AGAG HIHI| I know not in Whose hands are laid | A |
| To empty upon earth | B |
| From unsuspected ambuscade | A |
| The very Urns of Mirth | B |
| - | |
| Who bids the Heavenly Lark arise | C |
| And cheer our solemn round | A |
| The Jest beheld with streaming eyes | C |
| And grovellings on the ground | A |
| - | |
| Who joins the flats of Time and Chance | D |
| Behind the prey preferred | A |
| And thrones on Shrieking Circumstance | D |
| The Sacredly Absurd | A |
| - | |
| Till Laughter voiceless through excess | E |
| Waves mute appeal and sore | F |
| Above the midriff's deep distress | E |
| For breath to laugh once more | F |
| - | |
| No creed hath dared to hail Him Lord | A |
| No raptured choirs proclaim | G |
| And Nature's strenuous Overword | A |
| Hath nowhere breathed His Name | G |
| - | |
| Yet it must be on wayside jape | H |
| The selfsame Power bestows | I |
| The selfsame power as went to shape | H |
| His Planet or His Rose | I |
