A Nun Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH| One glance and I had lost her in the riot | A |
| Of tangled cries | B |
| She trod the clamor with a cloistral quiet | A |
| Deep in her eyes | B |
| As though she heard the muted music only | C |
| That silence makes | D |
| Among dim mountain summits and on lonely | C |
| Deserted lakes | D |
| - | |
| There is some broken song her heart remembers | E |
| From long ago | F |
| Some love lies buried deep some passion's embers | E |
| Smothered in snow | F |
| Far voices of a joy that sought and missed her | G |
| Fail now and cease | H |
| And this has given the deep eyes of God's sister | G |
| Their dreadful peace | H |
