The Gleaner Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACBBCBB| METHOUGHT I came unto a world wide plain | A |
| Where souls stood thick as grain at harvest tide | B |
| And many reapers full of pious pride | B |
| With rapid scythe sweeps mowed them down amain | A |
| And zealous binders bound them up like grain | A |
| In sheaves the reapers at each onward stride | B |
| Trod many souls down These the binders eyed | B |
| With careless looks or glances of disdain | A |
| But following slow a patient Gleaner came | C |
| And gathered all the Binders cast aside | B |
| And made fair sheaves thereof Whereat I cried | B |
| Why gather these Who art thou Name thy name | C |
| The Gleaner in a sad sweet voice replied | B |
| The outcasts Saviour for these too I died | B |
