Returning To Brussels Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCEDE| Upon a Flemish road when noon was deep | A |
| I passed a little consecrated shrine | B |
| Where among simple pictures ranged in line | B |
| The blessed Mary holds her child asleep | A |
| To kneel here shepherd maidens leave their sheep | A |
| When they feel grave because of the sunshine | B |
| And again kneel here in the day's decline | B |
| And here when their life ails them come to weep | A |
| Night being full I passed on the same road | C |
| By the same shrine within a lamp was lit | D |
| Which through the silence of clear darkness glowed | C |
| Thus when life's heat is past and doubts arise | E |
| Darkling the lamp of Faith must strengthen it | D |
| Which sometimes will not light and sometimes dies | E |
