Sonnet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEADEACHRIST dost thou live indeed or are thy bones | A |
Still straightened in their rock hewn sepulchre | B |
And was thy Rising only dreamed by Her | B |
Whose love of thee for all her sin atones | A |
For here the air is horrid with men's groans | A |
The priests who call upon thy name are slain | C |
Dost thou not hear the bitter wail of pain | C |
From those whose children lie upon the stones | A |
Come down O Son of God incestuous gloom | D |
Curtains the land and through the starless night | E |
Over thy Cross the Crescent moon I see | A |
If thou in very truth didst burst the tomb | D |
Come down O Son of Man and show thy might | E |
Lest Mahomet be crowned instead of Thee | A |
