A New Pilgrimage: Sonnet Xl Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDCBAEFEFGG| Here therefore ends my sad soul's pilgrimage | A |
| In tears for sin and half redeemed desire | B |
| She was unworthy her high martyr's rage | C |
| Or to be wholly purified by fire | B |
| O Rome thy ways are narrow and aspire | D |
| Too straitly for the knees of this halt age | C |
| And with the multitude her forces tire | B |
| Even while she holds thee fast her heritage | A |
| Path of sublime perfection upon Earth | E |
| Your's is it in the clamour of vain days | F |
| To guard the calm eternal of Man's birth | E |
| And like an eagle to renew his days | F |
| Give me your blessing angels ere I go | G |
| Angels that guard the bridge of Angelo | G |
