On The Religious Memory Of Mrs. Catherine Thomson, My Christian Friend, Deceased Dec. 16, 1646 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBADEDEDE| When Faith and Love which parted from thee never | A |
| Had ripened thy just soul to dwell with God | B |
| Meekly thou didst resign this earthly load | C |
| Of death called life which us from life doth sever | A |
| Thy works and alms and all thy good endeavour | A |
| Stayed not behind nor in the grave were trod | B |
| But as Faith pointed with her golden rod | B |
| Followed thee up to joy and bliss for ever | A |
| Love led them on and Faith who knew them best | D |
| Thy handmaids clad them o er with purple beams | E |
| And azure wings that up they flew so drest | D |
| And speak the truth of thee on glorious themes | E |
| Before the Judge who henceforth bid thee rest | D |
| And drink thy fill of pure immortal streams | E |
John Milton
