Sonnet. About Jesus. Ix Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBADEDEFF| So if Thou hadst been scorned in human eyes | A |
| Too bright and near to be a glory then | B |
| If as Truth's artist Thou hadst been to men | B |
| A setter forth of strange divinities | C |
| To after times Thou born in midday skies | A |
| A sun high up out blazing sudden when | B |
| Its light had had its centuries eight and ten | B |
| To travel through the wretched void that lies | A |
| 'Twixt souls and truth hadst been a Love and Fear | D |
| Worshipped on high from Magian's mountain crest | E |
| And all night long symbol'd by lamp flames clear | D |
| Thy sign a star upon thy people's breast | E |
| Where now a strange mysterious shape doth lie | F |
| That once barred out the sun in noontide sky | F |
