The Bond Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBC DEDECF EGEGGEGHIEIH| Once I remember when we were at home | A |
| I had come into church and waited late | B |
| Ere lastly kneeling to communicate | B |
| Alone and thinking that you would not come | C |
| - | |
| Then with closed eyes having received the Host | D |
| I prayed for your dear self and turned to rise | E |
| When lo beside me like a blessed ghost | D |
| Nay a grave sunbeam you I Scarcely my eyes | E |
| Could credit it so softly had you come | C |
| Beside me as I thought I walked alone | F |
| - | |
| Thus long ago but now when fate bereaves | E |
| Life of old joys how often as I'm kneeling | G |
| To take the Blessed Sacrifice that weaves | E |
| Life's tangled threads so broken to man's seeing | G |
| Into one whole I have the sudden feeling | G |
| That you are by and look to see a face | E |
| Made in fair flesh beside me and all my being | G |
| Thrills with the old sweet wonder and faint fear | H |
| As in that sabbath hour how long ago | I |
| When you had crept so lightly to your place | E |
| Then then I know | I |
| My heart can always tell that you are near | H |
