Sonnet. About Jesus. Xi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBADEEDFF| The eye was shut in men the hearing ear | A |
| Dull unto deafness nought but earthly things | B |
| Had credence and no highest art that flings | B |
| A spirit radiance from it like the spear | C |
| Of the ice pointed mountain lifted clear | C |
| In the nigh sunrise had made skyey springs | B |
| Of light in the clouds of dull imaginings | B |
| Vain were the painter or the sculptor here | A |
| Give man the listening heart the seeing eye | D |
| Give life let sea derived fountain well | E |
| Within his spirit infant waves to tell | E |
| Of the far ocean mysteries that lie | D |
| Silent upon the horizon evermore | F |
| Falling in voices on the human shore | F |
