The Look Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBCDEDEDE| The Saviour looked on Peter Ay no word | A |
| No gesture of reproach the Heavens serene | B |
| Though heavy with armed justice did not lean | B |
| Their thunders that way the forsaken Lord | C |
| Looked only on the traitor None record | C |
| What that look was none guess for those who have seen | B |
| Wronged lovers loving through a death pang keen | B |
| Or pale cheeked martyrs smiling to a sword | C |
| Have missed Jehovah at the judgment call | D |
| And Peter from the height of blasphemy | E |
| 'I never knew this man ' did quail and fall | D |
| As knowing straight THAT GOD and turned free | E |
| And went out speechless from the face of all | D |
| And filled the silenc weeping bitterly | E |
