To Cardinal Manning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECED

I wakeful for the skylark voice in menA
Or straining for the angel of the lightB
Rebuked am I by hungry ear and sightB
When I behold one lamp that through our fenA
Goes hourly where most noisome hear againA
A tongue that loathsomeness will not affrightB
From speaking to the soul of us forthrightB
What things our craven senses keep from kenA
This is the doing of the Christ the wayC
He went on earth the service above guileD
To prop a tyrant creed it sings it shinesE
Cries to the Mammonites Allay allayC
Such misery as by these present signsE
Brings vengeance down nor them who rouse revileD
