I've Seen Again The One Child: Verily Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBC ABBA AAD EEF

I've seen again the One child verilyA
I felt the last wound open in my breastB
The last whose perfect torture doth attestB
That on some happy day I too shall dieC
-
Good icy arrow piercing thoroughlyA
Most timely came it from their dreams to wrestB
The sluggish scruples laid too long to restB
And all my Christian blood hymned ferventlyA
-
I still hear still I see O worshipped ruleA
Of God I know at last how comfortfulA
To hear and see I see I hear alwayD
-
O innocence O hope Lowly and mildE
How I shall love you sweet hands of my childE
Whose task shall be to close our eyes one dayF

Paul Verlaine
