O Earth, Sufficing All Our Needs Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABACDECFFGF HHIJ KKLK| O earth sufficing all our needs O you | A |
| With room for body and for spirit too | A |
| How patient while your children vex their souls | B |
| Devising alien heavens beyond your blue | A |
| Dear dwelling of the immortal and unseen | C |
| How obstinate in my blindness have I been | D |
| Not comprehending what your tender calls | E |
| Veiled promises and reassurance mean | C |
| Not far and cold the way that they have gone | F |
| Who through your sundering darkness have withdrawn | F |
| Almost within our hand reach they remain | G |
| Who pass beyond the sequence of the dawn | F |
| - | |
| Not far and strange the Heaven but very near | H |
| Your children's hearts unknowingly hold dear | H |
| At times we almost catch the door swung wide | I |
| An unforgotten voice almost we hear | J |
| - | |
| I am the heir of Heaven and you are just | K |
| You you alone I know and you I trust | K |
| I have sought God beyond His farthest star | L |
| But here I find Him in your quickening dust | K |
