A Believer

by John Edwards

A believer can do exploits for God;

His irrepressible joy knows little maraud.

Never oppressed, possessing quiet rest;

Sometimes tested, unerringly visionary, with xenial youthful zest!

The poem contains 26 words beginning with each letter of the English alphabet in order, the last words rhyming in couplets
