Sonnet. About Jesus. V Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBCDEEDDE| But I have looked on pictures made by man | A |
| Wherein at first appeared but chaos wild | B |
| So high the art transcended it beguiled | B |
| The eye as formless and without a plan | A |
| Until the spirit brooding o'er began | A |
| To see a purpose rise like mountains piled | B |
| When God said Let the dry earth undefiled | B |
| Rise from the waves it rose in twilight wan | C |
| And so I fear thy pictures were too strange | D |
| For us to pierce beyond their outmost look | E |
| A vapour and a darkness a sealed book | E |
| An atmosphere too high for wings to range | D |
| At God's designs our spirits pale and change | D |
| Trembling as at a void thought cannot brook | E |
