The New Dispensation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGI JBJK| Out in the sun the buttercups are gold | A |
| The daisies silver all the grassy lane | B |
| And spring has given love a flower to hold | A |
| And love lays blindness on the eyes of pain | B |
| - | |
| Within are still chill aisles and blazoned panes | C |
| And carven tombs where memory weeps no more | D |
| And from the lost and holy days remains | C |
| One saint beside the long closed western door | D |
| - | |
| Outside the world goes laughing lest it weep | E |
| With here and there some happy child at play | F |
| A mother worshipping the babe asleep | E |
| Or two young lovers dreaming 'neath the May | F |
| - | |
| Within the soul of love broods o'er the place | G |
| The carven saint forgotten many a year | H |
| Still lifts to heaven his rapt adoring face | G |
| To pray for those who leave him lonely here | I |
| - | |
| That once again the silent church may ring | J |
| With songs of joy triumphant over pain | B |
| Ah God who makest the miracle of spring | J |
| Make Thou dead faith and love to rise again | K |
