Gratitude Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGHHIf gratitude a poor man's virtue is | A |
'Tis one at least my sick soul can afford | B |
Bankrupt I am of all youth's charities | C |
But not of thanks No Thanks be to the Lord | B |
Praise be dear Lady of all grace to you | D |
You were my mediciner my one sole friend | E |
When the world spurned me from its retinue | D |
And I am yours your bond slave to the end | E |
How shall I tell it you There was a time | F |
When I was sordid in my unbelief | G |
And mocked at all things less robust than crime | F |
A convict in my prison house of grief | G |
But that is past Your pity was the key | H |
Which sent me forth a broken man but free | H |
