The Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDEFAAGAA| Weary of jangling noises never stilled | A |
| The skeptic's sneer the bigot's hate the din | B |
| Of clashing texts the webs of creed men spin | B |
| Round simple truth the children grown who build | A |
| With gilded cards their new Jerusalem | C |
| Busy with sacerdotal tailorings | D |
| And tinsel gauds bedizening holy things | D |
| I turn with glad and grateful heart from them | E |
| To the sweet story of the Florentine | F |
| Immortal in her blameless maidenhood | A |
| Beautiful as God's angels and as good | A |
| Feeling that life even now may be divine | G |
| With love no wrong can ever change to hate | A |
| No sin make less than all compassionate | A |
