Peace After A Storm Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF HIJI DKLK MFNF| When darkness long has veil'd my mind | A |
| And smiling day once more appears | B |
| Then my Redeemer then I find | A |
| The folly of my doubts and fears | B |
| - | |
| Straight I upbraid my wandering heart | C |
| And blush that I should ever be | D |
| Thus prone to act so base a part | C |
| Or harbour one hard thought of Thee | D |
| - | |
| Oh let me then at length be taught | E |
| What I am still so slow to learn | F |
| That God is love and changes not | G |
| Nor knows the shadow of a turn | F |
| - | |
| Sweet truth and easy to repeat | H |
| But when my faith is sharply tried | I |
| I find myself a learner yet | J |
| Unskilful weak and apt to slide | I |
| - | |
| But O my Lord one look from Thee | D |
| Subdues the disobedient will | K |
| Drives doubt and discontent away | L |
| And Thy rebellious worm is still | K |
| - | |
| Thou art as ready to forgive | M |
| As I am ready to repine | F |
| Thou therefore all the praise receive | N |
| Be shame and self abhorrence mine | F |
