Sonnet. About Jesus. I Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEDFG| If Thou hadst been a sculptor what a race | A |
| Of forms divine had ever preached to men | B |
| Lo I behold thy brow all glorious then | B |
| Its reflex dawning on the statue's face | A |
| Bringing its Thought to birth in human grace | A |
| The soul of the grand form upstarting when | B |
| Thou openest thus thy mysteries to our ken | B |
| Striking a marble window through blind space | A |
| But God who mouldeth in life plastic clay | C |
| Flashing his thoughts from men with living eyes | D |
| Not from still marble forms changeless alway | E |
| Breathed forth his human self in human guise | D |
| Thou didst appear walking unknown abroad | F |
| The son of man the human subject God | G |
