The Wretched Monk Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBCB BBD DBB| Old monasteries under steadfast walls | A |
| Displayed tableaux of holy Verity | B |
| Warming the inner men in those cold halls | A |
| Against the chill of their austerity | B |
| - | |
| Those times when seeds of Christ would thrive and grow | C |
| More than one monk now in obscurity | B |
| Taking the graveyard as his studio | C |
| Ennobled Death in all simplicity | B |
| - | |
| My soul's a tomb that wretched cenobite | B |
| I travel in throughout eternity | B |
| Nothing adorns the walls of this sad shrine | D |
| - | |
| O slothful monk Oh when may I assign | D |
| This living spectacle of misery | B |
| To labour of my hands my eyes' delight | B |
