Vox Ecclesiae, Vox Christi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEFGE| Not 'neath the altar only yet in sooth | A |
| There more than elsewhere is the cry How long | B |
| The right sown there hath still borne fruit in wrong | B |
| The wrong waxed fourfold Thence in hate of truth | A |
| O'er weapons blessed for carnage to fierce youth | A |
| From evil age the word hath hissed along | B |
| Ye are the Lord's go forth destroy be strong | B |
| Christ's Church absolves ye from Christ's law of ruth | A |
| Therefore the wine cup at the altar is | C |
| As Christ's own blood indeed and as the blood | D |
| Of Christ's elect at divers seasons spilt | E |
| On the altar stone that to man's church for this | F |
| Shall prove a stone of stumbling whence it stood | G |
| To be rent up ere the true Church be built | E |
