Annunciation - From A Picture By Botticelli Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEDCE| Immortal eloquence of mystic Art | A |
| How strangely o'er oblivion and gray time | B |
| That hand doth speak as in the painter's prime | B |
| It uttered thus his own and Mary's heart | A |
| At sight of it what rich conjectures start | A |
| Adown the years what wistful Aves chime | B |
| That wake the soul to rapture how sublime | B |
| Wherewith we too must bear in Him our part | A |
| For unto each to bring redemption's share | C |
| Whereby adown the ages Christ is borne | D |
| There comes the angel of the lilied rod | E |
| And though our souls with anguish sore are torn | D |
| We pray once more the world o'ercoming prayer | C |
| And then is born in us the Word of God | E |
