Lionel Johnson Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCCBBCCB DEDEDE| For the Rev John J Burke C S P | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| There was a murkier tinge in London's air | B |
| As if the honest fog blushed black for shame | C |
| Fools sang of sin for other fools' acclaim | C |
| And Milton's wreath was tossed to Baudelaire | B |
| The flowers of evil blossomed everywhere | B |
| But in their midst a radiant lily came | C |
| Candescent pure a cup of living flame | C |
| Bloomed for a day and left the earth more fair | B |
| - | |
| And was it Charles thy fair and fatal King | D |
| Who bade thee welcome to the lovely land | E |
| Or did Lord David cease to harp and sing | D |
| To take in his thine emulative hand | E |
| Or did Our Lady's smile shine forth to bring | D |
| Her lyric Knight within her choir to stand | E |
