(c) How has the poet more sins than the ones he committ
in the past ? English class 11 poem a hymn to God the father​

Answer 1

A Hymn to God the Father’ by John Donne is a three-stanza poem that is divided into sets of six lines, or sestets. From the title it is clear that Donne intended this piece as a hymn. It has a light, musical quality to it which can be found in most of Donne’s work. The perception is in part caused by the rhyme scheme.

The lines follow a consistent pattern of ABABAB, without any alteration in end sounds between the stanzas. Line one of all three stanzas rhymes, and so on through all six lines. Additionally, there is a great deal of repetition in the text. This too adds to the feeling that this is a song with verses and, most importantly in regards to repetition, refrains.

In regards to meter, this piece is mostly structured in iambic pentameter. This means that the majority of the lines contain five sets of two beats. The first of these is unstressed and the second stressed. There are some exceptions though, such as in the last two lines of each stanza. These lines contain, respectively, four and then two sets of two beats per line, known as tetrameter and dimeter. This change makes the parting words of the speaker all the more impactful.
