The Holy Snowdrops Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGI

Of old with goodwill from the skiesA
The holy angels cameB
They walked the earth with human eyesA
And passed away in flameB
-
But now the angels are withdrawnC
Because the flowers can speakD
With Christ we see the dayspring dawnC
In every snowdrop meekD
-
God sends them forth to God they tendE
Not less with love they burnF
That to the earth they lowly bendE
And unto dust returnF
-
No miracle in them hath placeG
For this world is their homeH
An utterance of essential graceG
The angel snowdrops comeI
