Sonnet Xv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBADEBFEB| Above the ruin of God's holy place | A |
| Where man forsaken lay the bleeding rood | B |
| Whose hands when men had craved substantial food | B |
| Gave not nor folded when they cried Embrace | A |
| I saw exalted in the latter days | C |
| Her whom west winds with natal foam bedewed | B |
| Wafted toward Cyprus lily breasted nude | B |
| Standing with arms out stretched and flower like face | A |
| And sick with all those centuries of tears | D |
| Shed in the penance for factitious woe | E |
| Once more I saw the nations at her feet | B |
| For Love shone in their eyes and in their ears | F |
| Come unto me Love beckoned them for lo | E |
| The breast your lips abjured is still as sweet | B |
