Sonnet. About Jesus. Xvii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBCDEDEEE| The highest marble Sorrow vanishes | A |
| Before a weeping child The one doth seem | B |
| The other is And wherefore do we dream | B |
| But that we live So I rejoice in this | C |
| That Thou didst cast Thyself in all the bliss | C |
| Of conscious strength into Life's torrent stream | B |
| Thy deeds fresh life springs that with blessings teem | B |
| Acting not painting rainbows o'er its hiss | C |
| Forgive me Lord if in these verses lie | D |
| Mean thoughts and stains of my infirmity | E |
| Full well I know that if they were as high | D |
| In holy song as prophet's ecstasy | E |
| 'Tis more to Thee than this if I ah me | E |
| Speak gently to a child for love of Thee | E |
