Sonnet. About Jesus. Xvi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEE| And yet I fear lest men who read these lines | A |
| Should judge of them as if they wholly spake | B |
| The love I bear Thee and thy holy sake | B |
| Saying He doth the high name wrong who twines | A |
| Earth's highest aim with Him and thus combines | A |
| Jesus and Art But I my refuge make | B |
| In what the Word said Man his life shall take | B |
| From every word in Art God first designs | A |
| He spoke the word And let me humbly speak | C |
| My faith that Art is nothing to the act | D |
| Lowliest that to the Truth bears witness meek | C |
| Renownless even unknown but yet a fact | D |
| The glory of thy childhood and thy youth | E |
| Was not that Thou didst show but didst the Truth | E |
