The Gipsy's Prayer. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHH| Our altar is the dewy sod | A |
| Our temple yon blue throne of God | A |
| No priestly rite our souls to bind | B |
| We bow before the Almighty Mind | B |
| - | |
| Oh Thou whose realm is wide as air | C |
| Thou wilt not spurn the Gipsies' prayer | C |
| Though banned and barred by all beside | D |
| Be Thou the Outcast's guard and guide | D |
| - | |
| Poor fragments of a Nation wrecked | E |
| Its story whelmed in Time's neglect | E |
| We drift unheeded on the wave | F |
| If God refuse the lost to save | F |
| - | |
| Yet though we name no Fatherland | G |
| And though we clasp no kindred hand | G |
| Though houseless homeless wanderers we | H |
| Oh give us Hope and Heaven with Thee | H |
