Beneath Thy Cross Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDEFGFGHIJI| Am I a stone and not a sheep | A |
| That I can stand O Christ beneath thy cross | B |
| To number drop by drop Thy Blood's slow loss | B |
| And yet not weep | A |
| Not so those women loved | C |
| Who with exceeding grief lamented Thee | D |
| Not so fallen Peter weeping bitterly | D |
| Not so the thief was moved | E |
| Not so the Sun and Moon | F |
| Which hid their faces in a starless sky | G |
| A horror of great darkness at broad noon | F |
| I only I | G |
| Yet give not o'er | H |
| But seek Thy sheep true Shepherd of the flock | I |
| Greater than Moses turn and look once more | J |
| And smite a rock | I |
