Father Gerard Hopkins, S. J. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCDCD| Why didst thou carve thy speech laboriously | A |
| And match and blend thy words with curious art | B |
| For Song one saith is but a human heart | B |
| Speaking aloud undisciplined and free | A |
| Nay God be praised Who fixed thy task for thee | A |
| Austere ecstatic craftsman set apart | B |
| From all who traffic in Apollo's mart | B |
| On thy phrased paten shall the Splendour be | A |
| - | |
| Now carelessly we throw a rhyme to God | C |
| Singing His praise when other songs are done | D |
| But thou who knewest paths Teresa trod | C |
| Losing thyself what is it thou hast won | D |
| O bleeding feet with peace and glory shod | C |
| O happy moth that flew into the Sun | D |
