God Full Of Mercy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEBGHIJK LB IMBCD N

God Full of Mercy the prayer for the deadA
If God was not full of mercyB
Mercy would have been in the worldC
Not just in HimD
I who plucked flowers in the hillsE
And looked down into all the valleysF
I who brought corpses down from the hillsE
Can tell you that the world is empty of mercyB
I who was King of Salt at the seashoreG
Who stood without a decision at my windowH
Who counted the steps of angelsI
Whose heart lifted weights of anguishJ
In the horrible contestsK
-
I who use only a small partL
Of the words in the dictionaryB
-
I who must decipher riddlesI
I don't want to decipherM
Know that if not for the God full of mercyB
There would be mercy in the worldC
Not just in HimD
