Repose In God Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABC DDEE FGHH IJKK

Blest who far from all mankindA
This world's shadows left behindA
Hears from heaven a gentle strainB
Whispering love and loves againC
-
Blest who free from self esteemD
Dives into the great SupremeD
All desire beside discardsE
Joys inferior none regardsE
-
Blest who in thy bosom seeksF
Rest that nothing earthly breaksG
Dead to self and worldly thingsH
Lost in thee thou King of kingsH
-
Ye that know my secret fireI
Softly speak and soon retireJ
Favour my divine reposeK
Spare the sleep a God bestowsK

William Cowper
