Sursum Cor! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACDCADEFGGFHIIJH JBFBFF| Lament no more my heart lament no more | A |
| Though all these clouds have covered up the light | B |
| And thou so far from shore | A |
| Art baffled in mid flight | B |
| Still proudly as in joy through sorrow soar | A |
| As the wild swan | C |
| Voyaging over dark and rising seas | D |
| Into the stormy air adventures on | C |
| With wide unfaltering wings the way he bore | A |
| When blue the water laughed beneath the breeze | D |
| And morning round the radiant beaches shone | E |
| So thou through all this pain | F |
| Endure my heart whither thy course was bound | G |
| Though never may the longed for goal be found | G |
| Thy steadfast will maintain | F |
| Thou must not fail for nothing yet hath failed | H |
| Which was to thee most dear and most adored | I |
| Still glorious is Love thy only lord | I |
| Truth still is true and sweetness still is sweet | J |
| The high stars have not changed nor the sun paled | H |
| Still warmly O my heart and bravely beat | J |
| Remember not how lovely was delight | B |
| How piteous is pain | F |
| Keep keep thy passionate flight | B |
| Nor find thy voyage vain | F |
| Yea till thou break my heart all meaner quest disdain | F |
