Agnostic Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEGHIHI ADADJKJK| The chapel looms against the sky | A |
| Above the vine clad shelves | B |
| And as the peasants pass it by | A |
| They cross themselves | B |
| But I alone I grieve to state | C |
| Lack sentiment divine | D |
| A citified sophisticate | C |
| I make no sign | D |
| - | |
| Their gesture may a habit be | E |
| Mechanic in a sense | F |
| Yet somehow it awakes in me | E |
| Strange reverence | G |
| And though from ignorance it stem | H |
| Somehow I deeply grieve | I |
| And wish down in my heart like them | H |
| I could believe | I |
| - | |
| Suppose a cottage I should buy | A |
| And little patch of vine | D |
| With pure and humble spirit I | A |
| Might make the Sign | D |
| Aye though I godless way I go | J |
| And sceptic in my trend | K |
| A faith in something I don't know | J |
| Might save me in the end | K |
