Song V: Through The Trouble And Tangle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABB CDCDD EFEFF GHGHH CICII EJEJK

Love is enough through the trouble and tangleA
From yesterday's dawning to yesterday's nightB
I sought through the vales where the prisoned winds wrangleA
Till wearied and bleeding at end of the lightB
I met him and we wrestled and great was my mightB
-
O great was my joy though no rest was around meC
Though mid wastes of the world were we twain all aloneD
For methought that I conquered and he knelt and he crowned meC
And the driving rain ceased and the wind ceased to moanD
And through clefts of the clouds her planet outshoneD
-
O through clefts of the clouds 'gan the world to awakenE
And the bitter wind piped and down drifted the rainF
And I was alone and yet not forsakenE
For the grass was untrodden except by my painF
With a Shadow of the Night had I wrestled in vainF
-
And the Shadow of the Night and not Love was departedG
I was sore I was weary yet Love lived to seekH
So I scaled the dark mountains and wandered sad heartedG
Over wearier wastes where e'en sunlight was bleakH
With no rest of the night for my soul waxen weakH
-
With no rest of the night for I waked mid a storyC
Of a land wherein Love is the light and the lordI
Where my tale shall be heard and my wounds gain a gloryC
And my tears be a treasure to add to the hoardI
Of pleasure laid up for his people's rewardI
-
Ah pleasure laid up Haste then onward and listenE
For the wind of the waste has no music like thisJ
And not thus do the rocks of the wilderness glistenE
With the host of his faithful through sorrow and blissJ
My Lord goeth forth now and knows me for hisK
