In San Lorenzo Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADDEFFE| Is thine hour come to wake O slumbering Night | A |
| Hath not the Dawn a message in thine ear | B |
| Though thou be stone and sleep yet shalt thou hear | B |
| When the word falls from heaven Let there be light | A |
| Thou knowest we would not do thee the despite | A |
| To wake thee while the old sorrow and shame were near | C |
| We spake not loud for thy sake and for fear | C |
| Lest thou shouldst lose the rest that was thy right | A |
| The blessing given thee that was thine alone | D |
| The happiness to sleep and to be stone | D |
| Nay we kept silence of thee for thy sake | E |
| Albeit we knew thee alive and left with thee | F |
| The great good gift to feel not nor to see | F |
| But will not yet thine Angel bid thee wake | E |
