Condemned Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBA DAEADA| From Caiphas to Pilate I was sent | A |
| Who judged with unwashed hands a crime to me | B |
| Next came the sentence and the soldiery | C |
| Claimed me their prey Without the people rent | A |
| With weeping voices the loud firmament | A |
| And through the night from town to town passed we | B |
| Mid shouts and drums and stones hurled heavily | B |
| By angry crowds on love and murder bent | A |
| - | |
| And last the gaol What stillness in these doors | D |
| The silent turnkeys their last bolts have shot | A |
| And their steps die in the long corridors | E |
| I am alone My tears run fast and hot | A |
| Dear Lord for Thy grief's sake I kiss these floors | D |
| Kneeling then turn to sleep dreams trouble not | A |
