Darkness And Light Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFGHIJIJKLK IMMIINIIOHPHQJRJ| There is darkness still gross darkness Lord | A |
| On this fair earth of Thine | B |
| There are prisoners still in the prison house | C |
| Where never a light doth shine | B |
| There are doors still bolted against Thee | D |
| There are faces set like a wall | E |
| And over them all the Shadow of Death | F |
| Hangs like a pall | G |
| Do you hear the voices calling | H |
| Out there in the black of the night | I |
| Do you hear the sobs of the women | J |
| Who are barred from the blessed light | I |
| And the children the little children | J |
| Do you hear their pitiful cry | K |
| O brothers we must seek them | L |
| Or there in the dark they die | K |
| - | |
| Spread the Light Spread the Light | I |
| Till earth's remotest bounds have heard | M |
| The glory of the Living Word | M |
| Till those that see not have their sight | I |
| Till all the fringes of the night | I |
| Are lifted and the long closed doors | N |
| Are wide for ever to the Light | I |
| Spread the Light | I |
| O then shall dawn the golden days | O |
| To which true hearts are pressing | H |
| When earth's discordant strains shall blend | P |
| The one true God confessing | H |
| When Christly thought and Christly deed | Q |
| Shall bind each heart and nation | J |
| In one Grand Brotherhood of Men | R |
| And one high consecration | J |
