Gratitude Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGHH| If 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 |
