True Pleasures Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFG HIJIKLKL FMMMNONO

Lord my soul with pleasure springsA
When Jesu's name I hearB
And when God the Spirit bringsA
The word of promise nearC
Beauties too in holinessD
Still delighted I perceiveE
Nor have words that can expressF
The joys Thy precepts giveG
-
Clothed in sanctity and graceH
How sweet it is to seeI
Those who love Thee as they passJ
Or when they wait on TheeI
Pleasant too to sit and tellK
What we owe to love DivineL
Till our bosoms grateful swellK
And eyes begin to shineL
-
Those the comforts I possessF
Which God shall still increaseM
All His ways are pleasantnessM
And all His paths are peaceM
Nothing Jesus did or spokeN
Henceforth let me ever slightO
For I love His easy yokeN
And find His burden lightO

William Cowper
