The Martyrs Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE| Oh ye who found in men's brief ways no sign | A |
| Of strength or help so cast them forth and threw | B |
| Your whole souls up to one ye deemed most true | B |
| Nor failed nor doubted but held fast your line | A |
| Seeing before you that divine face shine | A |
| Shall we not mourn when yours are now so few | B |
| Those sterner days when all men yearned to you | B |
| White souls whose beauty made their world divine | A |
| - | |
| Yet still across life's tangled storms we see | C |
| Following the cross your pale procession led | D |
| One hope one end all others sacrificed | E |
| Self abnegation love humility | C |
| Your faces shining toward the bended head | D |
| The wounded hands and patient feet of Christ | E |
