Cor Cordium Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBADAEDFE| O heart of hearts the chalice of love's fire | A |
| Hid round with flowers and all the bounty of bloom | B |
| O wonderful and perfect heart for whom | B |
| The lyrist liberty made life a lyre | C |
| O heavenly heart at whose most dear desire | A |
| Dead love living and singing cleft his tomb | B |
| And with him risen and regent in death's room | B |
| All day thy choral pulses rang full choir | A |
| O heart whose beating blood was running song | D |
| O sole thing sweeter than thine own songs were | A |
| Help us for thy free love's sake to be free | E |
| True for thy truth's sake for thy strength's sake strong | D |
| Till very liberty make clean and fair | F |
| The nursing earth as the sepulchral sea | E |
