Sonnet. About Jesus. Xv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEE| Men may pursue the Beautiful while they | A |
| Love not the Good the life of all the Fair | B |
| Keen eyed for beauty they will find it where | B |
| The darkness of their eyes hath power to slay | A |
| The vision of the good in beauty's ray | A |
| Though fruits the same life giving branches bear | B |
| So in a statue they will see the rare | B |
| Beauty of thought moulded of dull crude clay | A |
| While loving joys nor prayer their souls expand | C |
| So Thou didst mould thy thoughts in Life not Art | D |
| Teaching with human voice and eye and hand | C |
| That none the beauty from the truth might part | D |
| Their oneness in thy flesh we joyous hail | E |
| The Holy of Holies' cloud illumined veil | E |
