The Sign Of The Cross Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABABB CCDCDD| WHENE ER across this sinful flesh of mine | A |
| I draw the Holy Sign | A |
| All good thoughts stir within me and renew | B |
| Their slumbering strength divine | A |
| Till there springs up a courage high and true | B |
| To suffer and to do | B |
| - | |
| And who shall say but hateful spirits around | C |
| For their brief hour unbound | C |
| Shudder to see and wail their overthrow | D |
| While on far heathen ground | C |
| Some lonely Saint hails the fresh odor though | D |
| Its source he cannot know | D |
