Song V: Through The Trouble And Tangle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABB CDCDD EFEFF GHGHH CICII EJEJKLove is enough through the trouble and tangle | A |
From yesterday's dawning to yesterday's night | B |
I sought through the vales where the prisoned winds wrangle | A |
Till wearied and bleeding at end of the light | B |
I met him and we wrestled and great was my might | B |
- | |
O great was my joy though no rest was around me | C |
Though mid wastes of the world were we twain all alone | D |
For methought that I conquered and he knelt and he crowned me | C |
And the driving rain ceased and the wind ceased to moan | D |
And through clefts of the clouds her planet outshone | D |
- | |
O through clefts of the clouds 'gan the world to awaken | E |
And the bitter wind piped and down drifted the rain | F |
And I was alone and yet not forsaken | E |
For the grass was untrodden except by my pain | F |
With a Shadow of the Night had I wrestled in vain | F |
- | |
And the Shadow of the Night and not Love was departed | G |
I was sore I was weary yet Love lived to seek | H |
So I scaled the dark mountains and wandered sad hearted | G |
Over wearier wastes where e'en sunlight was bleak | H |
With no rest of the night for my soul waxen weak | H |
- | |
With no rest of the night for I waked mid a story | C |
Of a land wherein Love is the light and the lord | I |
Where my tale shall be heard and my wounds gain a glory | C |
And my tears be a treasure to add to the hoard | I |
Of pleasure laid up for his people's reward | I |
- | |
Ah pleasure laid up Haste then onward and listen | E |
For the wind of the waste has no music like this | J |
And not thus do the rocks of the wilderness glisten | E |
With the host of his faithful through sorrow and bliss | J |
My Lord goeth forth now and knows me for his | K |
