The Sweeper Of The Floor Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBADEDFEE| Methought that in a solemn church I stood | A |
| Its marble acres worn with knees and feet | B |
| Lay spread from door to door from street to street | B |
| Midway the form hung high upon the rood | C |
| Of him who gave his life to be our good | A |
| Beyond priests flitted bowed and murmured meet | B |
| Among the candles shining still and sweet | B |
| Men came and went and worshipped as they could | A |
| And still their dust a woman with her broom | D |
| Bowed to her work kept sweeping to the door | E |
| Then saw I slow through all the pillared gloom | D |
| Across the church a silent figure come | F |
| Daughter it said thou sweepest well my floor | E |
| It is the Lord I cried and saw no more | E |
