The Vision Of The Archangels Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCACA DEEFGH| Slowly up silent peaks the white edge of the world | A |
| Trod four archangels clear against the unheeding sky | B |
| Bearing with quiet even steps and great wings furled | A |
| A little dingy coffin where a child must lie | B |
| It was so tiny Yet you had fancied God could never | C |
| Have bidden a child turn from the spring and the sunlight | A |
| And shut him in that lonely shell to drop for ever | C |
| Into the emptiness and silence into the night | A |
| - | |
| They then from the sheer summit cast and watched it fall | D |
| Through unknown glooms that frail black coffin and therein | E |
| God's little pitiful Body lying worn and thin | E |
| And curled up like some crumpled lonely flower petal | F |
| Till it was no more visible then turned again | G |
| With sorrowful quiet faces downward to the plain | H |
