Rhyme Scheme: AAAABAABACCADDQueen bird that sittest on thy shining nest | A |
And thy young cygnets without sorrow hatchest | A |
And thou thou other royal bird that watchest | A |
Lest the white mother wandering feet molest | A |
Shrined are your offspring in a crystal cradle | B |
Brighter than Helen's ere she yet had burst | A |
Her shelly prison They shall be born at first | A |
Strong active graceful perfect swan like able | B |
To tread the land or waters with security | A |
Unlike poor human births conceived in sin | C |
In grief brought forth both outwardly and in | C |
Confessing weakness error and impurity | A |
Did heavenly creatures own succession's line | D |
The births of heaven like to yours would shine | D |
