A Recusant Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHH| THE CHURCH stands there beyond the orchard blooms | A |
| How yearningly I gaze upon its spire | B |
| Lifted mysterious through the twilight glooms | A |
| Dissolving in the sunset s golden fire | C |
| Or dim as slender incense morn by morn | D |
| Ascending to the blue and open sky | E |
| For ever when my heart feels most forlorn | D |
| It murmurs to me with a weary sigh | E |
| How sweet to enter in to kneel and pray | F |
| With all the others whom we love so well | G |
| All disbelief and doubt might pass away | F |
| All peace float to us with its Sabbath bell | G |
| Conscience replies There is but one good rest | H |
| Whose head is pillowed upon Truth s pure breast | H |
