The Necessitarian Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CACA DADA EFEF AGAG HIHII 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 |
