Ascension Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDAEFEFGG| Salute the last and everlasting day | A |
| Joy at th' uprising of this Sun and Son | B |
| Ye whose true tears or tribulation | B |
| Have purely wash'd or burnt your drossy clay | A |
| Behold the Highest parting hence away | A |
| Lightens the dark clouds which He treads upon | C |
| Nor doth He by ascending show alone | D |
| But first He and He first enters the way | A |
| O strong Ram which hast batter'd heaven for me | E |
| Mild Lamb which with Thy Blood hast mark'd the path | F |
| Bright Torch which shinest that I the way may see | E |
| O with Thy own Blood quench Thy own just wrath | F |
| And if Thy Holy Spirit my Muse did raise | G |
| Deign at my hands this crown of prayer and praise | G |
John Donne
