Place De La Bastille, Paris Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACCADEFGDF| How dear the sky has been above this place | A |
| Small treasures of this sky that we see here | B |
| Seen weak through prison bars from year to year | C |
| Eyed with a painful prayer upon God's grace | A |
| To save and tears which stayed along the face | A |
| Lifted at sunset Yea how passing dear | C |
| Those nights when through the bars a wind left clear | C |
| The heaven and moonlight soothed the limpid space | A |
| So was it till one night the secret kept | D |
| Safe in low vault and stealthy corridor | E |
| Was blown abroad on gospel tongues of flame | F |
| O ways of God mysterious evermore | G |
| How many on this spot have cursed and wept | D |
| That all might stand here now and own Thy Name | F |
