Wasted? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CAADDA EEAAFFGHII| Think not of any one of them as wasted | A |
| Or to the void like broken tools outcasted | A |
| Unnoticed unregretted and unknown | B |
| Not so is His care shown | B |
| - | |
| Know this | C |
| In God's economy there is no waste | A |
| As in His Work no slackening no haste | A |
| But noiselessly without a sign | D |
| The measure of His vast design | D |
| Is all fulfilled exact as He hath willed | A |
| - | |
| And His good instruments He tends with care | E |
| Lest aught their future usefulness impair | E |
| As Master craftsman his choice tools doth tend | A |
| Respecting each one as a trusty friend | A |
| Cleans them and polishes and puts away | F |
| For his good usage at some future day | F |
| So He unto Himself has taken these | G |
| Not to their loss but to their vast increase | H |
| To us the loss the emptiness the pain | I |
| But unto them all high eternal gain | I |
