Impromptu, To Oriana. On Attending With Her, As Sponsors, At A Christening Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJFKLady who didst with angel look and smile | A |
And the sweet lustre of those dear dark eyes | B |
Gracefully bend before the font of Christ | C |
In humble adoration faith and prayer | D |
Oh as the infant pledge of friends beloved | E |
Received from thy pure lips its future name | F |
Sweetly unconscious look'd the baby boy | G |
How beautifully helpless and how mild | H |
Methought a seraph spread her shelt'ring wings | I |
Over the solemn scene and as the sun | J |
In its full splendour on the altar came | F |
God's blessing seem'd to sanctify the deed | K |
