A Quickie...Can you guess the scaffold verse?

Question

Easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy

My Soul has felt the hand of God when peril threatened me;

He has tramped along beside me in the woods of Tennessee;

I have felt his awesome presence in defeat and victory

His words have set me free

Bye

Answer 1

The Battle Hymn of the Republic.

(Entirely too early to think straight. Now, you'll have me singing it all day...moan and mutter.)

Answer 2

I read a few of the scaffold poems and I think I get the gist. I recognize the tune this plays, and someday I will try one myself...I'll have to go back and study the details though. It was Todd who posted the original exercise, right?

Answer 3

"Hi!",

How are you? You have returned. We have been on a time freeze on yahoo answers. Yahoo's poetry was stuck on the same page for a whole day. It's fixed now.

I'm glad to hear your OK.

It's a lovely little poem.

WELL DONE!

cheers : )

Answer 4

I liked it until the last line, I was looking for another 8 syllable phrase at the beginning of the line to use the final 6 as the clincher.  It's quite good as it is, but my lyrical mind just wanted more.  Thanks for sharing this inspirational piece with us.

Answer 5

Mine eyes have seen the Glory of the Coming of the Lord?

no too short

Answer 6

Um, we'll drink a drink a drink
