Sonnet On Hearing The Dies Irae Sung In The Sistine Chapel Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEFDEF| Nay Lord not thus white lilies in the spring | A |
| Sad olive groves or silver breasted dove | B |
| Teach me more clearly of Thy life and love | B |
| Than terrors of red flame and thundering | A |
| The hillside vines dear memories of Thee bring | A |
| A bird at evening flying to its nest | C |
| Tells me of One who had no place of rest | C |
| I think it is of Thee the sparrows sing | A |
| Come rather on some autumn afternoon | D |
| When red and brown are burnished on the leaves | E |
| And the fields echo to the gleaner's song | F |
| Come when the splendid fulness of the moon | D |
| Looks down upon the rows of golden sheaves | E |
| And reap Thy harvest we have waited long | F |
