The Passover In The Holy Family (for A Drawing) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDAEDEDDE| Here meet together the prefiguring day | A |
| And day prefigured Eating thou shalt stand | B |
| Feet shod loins girt thy road staff in thine hand | B |
| With blood stained door and lintel did God say | A |
| By Moses' mouth in ages passed away | A |
| And now where this poor household doth comprise | C |
| At Paschal Feast two kindred families | D |
| Lo the slain lamb confronts the Lamb to slay | A |
| The pyre is piled What agony's crown attained | E |
| What shadow of Death the Boy's fair brow subdues | D |
| Who holds that blood wherewith the porch is stained | E |
| By Zachary the priest John binds the shoes | D |
| He deemed himself not worthy to unloose | D |
| And Mary culls the bitter herbs ordained | E |
