Sonnet. About Jesus. Xviii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDECE| Thou art before me and I see no more | A |
| Pilate or soldiers but the purple flung | B |
| Around the naked form the scourge had wrung | B |
| To naked Truth thus witnessing before | A |
| The False and trembling True As on the shore | A |
| Of infinite Love and Truth I kneel among | B |
| Thy footprints on that pavement and my tongue | B |
| Would but for reverence cry If Thou set'st store | A |
| By feeble homage Witness to the Truth | C |
| Thou art the King crowned by thy witnessing | D |
| I die in soul and fall down worshipping | D |
| Art glories vanish vapours of the morn | E |
| Never but Thee was there a man in sooth | C |
| Never a true crown but thy crown of thorn | E |
