Now, God Be Thanked Who Has Matched Us With His Hour Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCE FBGFBGNow God be thanked Who has matched us with His hour | A |
And caught our youth and wakened us from sleeping | B |
With hand made sure clear eye and sharpened power | A |
To turn as swimmers into cleanness leaping | B |
Glad from a world grown old and cold and weary | C |
Leave the sick hearts that honour could not move | D |
And half men and their dirty songs and dreary | C |
And all the little emptiness of love | E |
- | |
Oh we who have known shame we have found release there | F |
Where there's no ill no grief but sleep has mending | B |
Nought broken save this body lost but breath | G |
Nothing to shake the laughing heart's long peace there | F |
But only agony and that has ending | B |
And the worst friend and enemy is but Death | G |
