Benedictio Domini Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG AHAH| Without the sullen noises of the street | A |
| The voice of London inarticulate | B |
| Hoarse and blaspheming surges in to meet | A |
| The silent blessing of the Immaculate | C |
| - | |
| Dark is the church and dim the worshippers | D |
| Hushed with bowed heads as though by some old spell | E |
| While through the incense laden air there stirs | D |
| The admonition of a silver bell | E |
| - | |
| Dark is the church save where the altar stands | F |
| Dressed like a bride illustrious with light | G |
| Where one old priest exalts with tremulous hands | F |
| The one true solace of man's fallen plight | G |
| - | |
| Strange silence here without the sounding street | A |
| Heralds the world's swift passage to the fire | H |
| O Benediction perfect and complete | A |
| When shall men cease to suffer and desire | H |
