St. John's, Cambridge Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBADEFDEF| I stand beneath the tree whose branches shade | A |
| Thy western window Chapel of St John | B |
| And hear its leaves repeat their benison | B |
| On him whose hand thy stones memorial laid | A |
| Then I remember one of whom was said | C |
| In the world's darkest hour Behold thy son | B |
| And see him living still and wandering on | B |
| And waiting for the advent long delayed | A |
| Not only tongues of the apostles teach | D |
| Lessons of love and light but these expanding | E |
| And sheltering boughs with all their leaves implore | F |
| And say in language clear as human speech | D |
| The peace of God that passeth understanding | E |
| Be and abide with you forevermore | F |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
