Darkness And Light Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFGHIJIJKLK IMMIINIIOHPHQJRJ

There is darkness still gross darkness LordA
On this fair earth of ThineB
There are prisoners still in the prison houseC
Where never a light doth shineB
There are doors still bolted against TheeD
There are faces set like a wallE
And over them all the Shadow of DeathF
Hangs like a pallG
Do you hear the voices callingH
Out there in the black of the nightI
Do you hear the sobs of the womenJ
Who are barred from the blessed lightI
And the children the little childrenJ
Do you hear their pitiful cryK
O brothers we must seek themL
Or there in the dark they dieK
-
Spread the Light Spread the LightI
Till earth's remotest bounds have heardM
The glory of the Living WordM
Till those that see not have their sightI
Till all the fringes of the nightI
Are lifted and the long closed doorsN
Are wide for ever to the LightI
Spread the LightI
O then shall dawn the golden daysO
To which true hearts are pressingH
When earth's discordant strains shall blendP
The one true God confessingH
When Christly thought and Christly deedQ
Shall bind each heart and nationJ
In one Grand Brotherhood of MenR
And one high consecrationJ
