Sonnet. About Jesus. Xiii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCDCDD| So as Thou wert the seed and not the flower | A |
| Having no form or comeliness in chief | B |
| Sharing thy thoughts with thine acquaintance Grief | B |
| Thou wert despised rejected in thine hour | A |
| Of loneliness and God triumphant power | A |
| Oh not three days alone glad slumber brief | B |
| That from thy travail brought Thee sweet relief | B |
| Lay'st Thou outworn beneath thy stony bower | A |
| But three and thirty years a living seed | C |
| Thy body lay as in a grave indeed | C |
| A heavenly germ dropt in a desert wide | D |
| Buried in fallow soil of grief and need | C |
| 'Mid earthquake storms of fiercest hate and pride | D |
| By woman's tears bedewed and glorified | D |
