A New Pilgrimage: Sonnet Xxxviii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBABCDEFEGH| I saw one sitting on a kingly throne | A |
| A man of age whom Time had touched with white | B |
| White were his brows and white his vestment shone | A |
| And white the childhood of his lips with light | B |
| Only his eyes gleamed masterful and bright | B |
| Holding the secrets shut of worlds unknown | A |
| And in his hand the sceptre lay of might | B |
| To bind and loose all souls beneath the sun | C |
| Where is the manhood where the Godhood here | D |
| The weak things of the world confound the wise | E |
| Here is all weakness let us cast out fear | F |
| Here is all strength Ah screen me from those eyes | E |
| The terrible eyes of Him who sees unseen | G |
| The thing that is and shall be and has been | H |
