Longing For Jerusalem Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFG| O city of the world with sacred splendor blest | A |
| My spirit yearns to thee from out the far off West | A |
| A stream of love wells forth when I recall thy day | B |
| Now is thy temple waste thy glory passed away | B |
| Had I an eagle's wings straight would I fly to thee | C |
| Moisten thy holy dust with wet cheeks streaming free | C |
| Oh how I long for thee albeit thy King has gone | D |
| Albeit where balm once flowed the serpent dwells alone | E |
| Could I but kiss thy dust so would I fain expire | F |
| As sweet as honey then my passion my desire | G |
