A Chaunt In Praise Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DDEA FDGA DHIA AEDE ADJD| How many hymns have I chaunted Lady in laud of thee | A |
| Each with a sigh for its burthen tear for its antiphon | B |
| Love songs are sweet in the morning All things in praise of thee | A |
| Evening and morning rejoice intoning in unison | C |
| - | |
| Noontide and night have I heard them birds in the bulrushes | D |
| Ewes with their lambs in the pastures winds in the wilderness | D |
| Doves as they light in the palm tops moans of the waterwheel | E |
| Eagles and ravens exulting all speak the name of thee | A |
| - | |
| Fair is thy face as the first star seen in the western sky | F |
| Robed in the rose of the sunset pure in its loneliness | D |
| Angels look down from its windows smile on the world of men | G |
| Near yet afar from their grieving Thou too hast smiled on me | A |
| - | |
| Crown me with bays nay with roses What should I do with bays | D |
| Emblems of earthly ambition I who but live for love | H |
| Earn me reward of the red rose thine and love's laureate | I |
| Thus with the flower of thy kindness crowning my constancy | A |
| - | |
| Deign to accept an allegiance due to thy royalty | A |
| Empires are thine Be my kingdom here at thy kness to kneel | E |
| Not till thou speak will I raise me turn to life's emptiness | D |
| Ashes and dust for my portion O thou most pitiful | E |
| - | |
| Verily grief is love's sister Therefore I weave for thee | A |
| Anthems of grief and of true love born of thy loveliness | D |
| Read and forget and to morrow lo where my path hath been | J |
| Eagles and ravens exulting scream from the wilderness | D |
