Fuchsia Hedges In Connacht Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABC DEFGBHIB JKBLBBMBBB

I THINK some saint of Eirinn wandering farA
Found you and brought you here DemoisellesB
For so I greet you in this alien airC
-
And like those maidens who were only knownD
In their own land as daughters of the KingE
Children of CharlemagneF
You have by following that pilgrim saintG
Become high vot ressesB
You have made your palace beauty dedicateH
And your pomp serviceableI
You stand beside our foldsB
-
I think you came from some old Roman landJ
Most alien but most Catholic are youK
Your purple is the purple that enfoldsB
In Passion Week the ShrineL
Your scarlet is the scarlet of the woundsB
You bring before our walls before our doorsB
Lamps of the SanctuaryM
And in this stony placeB
The time the robin singsB
Through your bells rings the AngelusB
