Sonnet Viii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDECE| As Daniel bird alone in that far land | A |
| Kneeling in fervent prayer with heart sick eyes | B |
| Turned thro' the casement toward the westering skies | B |
| Or as untamed Elijah that red brand | A |
| Among the starry prophets or that band | A |
| And company of Faithful sanctities | B |
| Who in all times when persecutions rise | B |
| Cherish forgotten creeds with fostering hand | A |
| Such do ye seem to me light hearted crew | C |
| O turned to friendly arts with all your will | D |
| That keep a little chapel sacred still | D |
| One rood of Holy land in this bleak earth | E |
| Sequestered still our homage surely due | C |
| To the twin Gods of mirthful wine and mirth | E |
