Psalm Cxiv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHII| When the blest seed of Terah's faithful Son | A |
| After long toil their liberty had won | A |
| And past from Pharian fields to Canaan Land | B |
| Led by the strength of the Almighty's hand | B |
| Jehovah's wonders were in Israel shown | C |
| His praise and glory was in Israel known | C |
| That saw the troubl'd Sea and shivering fled | D |
| And sought to hide his froth becurled head | D |
| Low in the earth Jordan's clear streams recoil | E |
| As a faint host that hath receiv'd the foil | E |
| The high huge bellied Mountains skip like Rams | F |
| Amongst their Ewes the little Hills like Lambs | F |
| Why fled the Ocean And why skip'd the Mountains | G |
| Why turned Jordan toward his Crystal Fountains | G |
| Shake earth and at the presence be aghast | H |
| Of him that ever was and ay shall last | H |
| That glassy floods from rugged rocks can crush | I |
| And make soft rills from the fiery flint stones gush | I |
William Cowper
