A New Pilgrimage: Sonnet Xxxiii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACCACADEFGHH| So I I am ashamed of my old life | A |
| Here in this saintly presence of days gone | B |
| Ashamed of my weak heart's unmeaning strife | A |
| Its loves its lusts its battles lost and won | C |
| And its long search of pleasure 'neath the sun | C |
| And its scant courage to endure the knife | A |
| And its vain longing for good deeds undone | C |
| Ending in bitter words with railing rife | A |
| I am unworthy yet am comforted | D |
| As one who driving o'er long trackless roads | E |
| Of brake and rock and briar with footsore steed | F |
| And springless chariot searching for vain gods | G |
| Finds the high road before him where at ease | H |
| The old world plods the rut of centuries | H |
