On First Entering Westminster Abbey Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE| Thabor of England since my light is short | A |
| And faint O rather by the sun anew | B |
| Of timeless passion set my dial true | B |
| That with thy saints and thee I may consort | A |
| And wafted in the calm Chaucerian port | A |
| Of poets seem a little sail long due | B |
| And be as one the call of memory drew | B |
| Unto the saddle void since Agincourt | A |
| - | |
| Not now for secular love's unquiet lease | C |
| Receive my soul who rapt in thee erewhile | D |
| Hath broken tryst with transitory things | E |
| But seal with her a marriage and a peace | C |
| Eternal on thine Edward's holy isle | D |
| Above the stormy sea of ending kings | E |
