Behold The Man! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCECF| Shall Christ hang on the Cross and we not look | A |
| Heaven earth and hell stood gazing at the first | B |
| While Christ for long cursed man was counted cursed | B |
| Christ God and Man Whom God the Father strook | A |
| And shamed and sifted and one while forsook | A |
| Cry shame upon our bodies we have nursed | B |
| In sweets our souls in pride our spirits immersed | B |
| In wilfulness our steps run all acrook | A |
| Cry shame upon us for He bore our shame | C |
| In agony and we look on at ease | D |
| With neither hearts on flame nor cheeks on flame | C |
| What hast thou what have I to do with peace | E |
| Not to send peace but send a sword He came | C |
| And fire and fasts and tearful night watches | F |
