E Tenebris Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADEFGEDCome down O Christ and help me reach Thy hand | A |
For I am drowning in a stormier sea | B |
Than Simon on Thy lake of Galilee | B |
The wine of life is spilt upon the sand | A |
My heart is as some famine murdered land | A |
Whence all good things have perished utterly | B |
And well I know my soul in Hell must lie | C |
If I this night before God's throne should stand | A |
'He sleeps perchance or rideth to the chase | D |
Like Baal when his prophets howled that name | E |
From morn to noon on Carmel's smitten height ' | F |
Nay peace I shall behold before the night | G |
The feet of brass the robe more white than flame | E |
The wounded hands the weary human face | D |
