Behind The Veil Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDF GHGH

BANISH'D the House of sacred restA
Amid a thoughtless throngB
At length I heard its creed confess'dA
And knelt the saints amongC
-
Artless his strain and unadorn'dD
Who spoke Christ's message thereE
But what at home I might have scorn'dD
Now charm'd my famish'd earF
-
Lord grant me this abiding graceG
Thy Word and sons to knowH
To pierce the veil on Moses' faceG
Although his speech be slowH

John Henry Newman
