Easter Communion Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEDCD| Pure fasted faces draw unto this feast | A |
| God comes all sweetness to your Lenten lips | B |
| You striped in secret with breath taking whips | B |
| Those crooked rough scored chequers may be pieced | A |
| To crosses meant for Jesu's you whom the East | A |
| With draught of thin and pursuant cold so nips | B |
| Breathe Easter now you serged fellowships | B |
| You vigil keepers with low flames decreased | A |
| - | |
| God shall o'er brim the measures you have spent | C |
| With oil of gladness for sackcloth and frieze | D |
| And the ever fretting shirt of punishment | E |
| Give myrrhy threaded golden folds of ease | D |
| Your scarce sheathed bones are weary of being bent | C |
| Lo God shall strengthen all the feeble knees | D |
