Holy Sonnet Of The Reason For The Atonement Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Love is tender emotion and fiery | A |
| Who needed an offering for his heart | B |
| Seeing sin made God like the raging sea | A |
| That must shipwreck sin and break it apart | B |
| But none who will part from the evil ship | C |
| Deserve the wrath that must fall upon it | D |
| We were slaves forced to evil by the whip | C |
| And beasts of burden serving without wit | D |
| Yet Love who knows all things was blinded still | E |
| By his own pure infinite emotion | F |
| Which could not exercise his Spirit's will | E |
| Till Jesus calmed this furious ocean | F |
| Showing sin as 'white' in himself he dies | G |
| 'That God might be just' when us he descries | G |
