Hope Holds To Christ The Mind's Own Mirror Out Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEDE FF| Hope holds to Christ the mind's own mirror out | A |
| To take His lovely likeness more and more | B |
| It will not well so she would bring about | A |
| An ever brighter burnish than before | B |
| And turns to wash it from her welling eyes | C |
| And breathes the blots off all with sighs on sighs | C |
| Her glass is blest but she as good as blind | D |
| Holds till hand aches and wonders what is there | E |
| Her glass drinks light she darkles down behind | D |
| All of her glorious gainings unaware | E |
| - | |
| I told you that she turned her mirror dim | F |
| Betweenwhiles but she sees herself not Him | F |
