Sanctuary Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA ACAACA

How may one hold these days of wondermentA
And bind them into stillness with a thongB
Ere as a fleeting dream they pass alongB
Into the waste of lovely things forspentA
How may one keep what the Great Powers have sentA
The prayers fulfilled more beautiful and strongB
Than any thought could fashion into songB
Of all the rarest harmonies inblentA
-
There is an Altar where they may be laidA
And sealed in Faith within Its sacred careC
Here they are safe unto the very endA
For these are of the things that never fadeA
Brought from the City that is built four squareC
The gifts of Him who is the Perfect FriendA

Thomas S. Jones, Jr.
