St. Agnes' Shrine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGAGA HBHBIAIA| While before St Agnes' shrine | A |
| Knelt a true knight's lady love | B |
| From the wars of Palestine | A |
| Came a gentle carrier dove | B |
| Round his neck a Silken string | C |
| Fastened words the warrior writ | D |
| At her call he stooped his wing | C |
| And upon her finger lit | D |
| - | |
| She like one enchanted pored | E |
| O'er the contents of the scroll | F |
| For that lady loved her lord | E |
| With a pure devoted soul | F |
| To her heart her dove she drew | G |
| While she traced the burning line | A |
| Then away his minion flew | G |
| Back to sainted Palestine | A |
| - | |
| To and fro from hand to hand | H |
| Came and went a carrier dove | B |
| Till throughout the Holy Land | H |
| War resigned his sword to Love | B |
| Swift her dove on wings of light | I |
| Brought the news from Palestine | A |
| And the lady her true knight | I |
| Wedded at St Agnes' shrine | A |
