Accession Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFGFHIHI| ONCE I loved and my heart bowed down | A |
| Subject and slave for Love was a King | B |
| He sat above with sceptre and crown | A |
| Turning his eyes from my sorrowing | B |
| The laugh of a god on his lips lay light | C |
| His lips victorious that mocked my pain | D |
| And I mourned in the cold and the outer night | C |
| And my tears and my prayers were vain | D |
| - | |
| Now the old spell is over and done | E |
| Myself I wear the ermine and gold | F |
| My brows are crowned I ascend the throne | G |
| I have taken the sceptre and orb to hold | F |
| I smile victorious set far above | H |
| The music of voices that moan and pray | I |
| My feet are wet with the tears of love | H |
| And I turn my eyes away | I |
