After Seeing Pius Ix Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDDEEFFGG| I saw his face to day he looks a chief | A |
| Who fears not human rage nor human guile | B |
| Upon his cheeks the twilight of a grief | A |
| But in that grief the starlight of a smile | B |
| Deep gentle eyes with drooping lids that tell | C |
| They are the homes where tears of sorrow dwell | C |
| A low voice strangely sweet whose very tone | D |
| Tells how these lips speak oft with God alone | D |
| I kissed his hand I fain would kiss his feet | E |
| No no he said and then in accents sweet | E |
| His blessing fell upon my bended head | F |
| He bade me rise a few more words he said | F |
| Then took me by the hand the while he smiled | G |
| And going whispered Pray for me my child | G |
