The Young Novice Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHH| The lights yet gleamed on the holy shrine the incense hung around | A |
| But the rites were o er the silent church re echoed to no sound | A |
| Yet kneeling there on the altar steps absorbed in ardent prayer | B |
| Is a girl as seraph meek and pure as seraph heav nly fair | B |
| - | |
| The blue eyes veiled by the lashes long that rest on that bright cheek | C |
| Are humbly bent while the snow white hands are clasped in fervor meek | C |
| While in the classic lip and brow each feature of that face | D |
| And graceful high bred air is seen she comes of noble race | D |
| - | |
| But say what means that dusky robe that dark and flowing veil | E |
| The silver cross oh need we ask they tell at once their tale | E |
| They say that following in the path that fair as she have trod | F |
| She hath renounced a fleeting world to give herself to God | F |
| - | |
| Her sinless heart to no gay son of this earth hath she given | G |
| Her s is a higher holier lot to be the Bride of Heaven | G |
| And the calm peace of the cloister s walls abode of humble worth | H |
| Is the fit home for that spotless dove too fair too pure for earth | H |
