La Corona Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCEEDeign at my hands this crown of prayer and praise | A |
Weaved in my lone devout melancholy | B |
Thou which of good hast yea art treasury | B |
All changing unchanged Ancient of days | A |
But do not with a vile crown of frail bays | A |
Reward my Muse's white sincerity | B |
But what Thy thorny crown gain'd that give me | B |
A crown of glory which doth flower always | A |
The ends crown our works but Thou crown'st our ends | C |
For at our ends begins our endless rest | D |
The first last end now zealously possess'd | D |
With a strong sober thirst my soul attends | C |
'Tis time that heart and voice be lifted high | E |
Salvation to all that will is nigh | E |
John Donne
