Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Xxiii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFCC| Nor later when with her my childhood died | A |
| Was life less sealed to me The Church became | B |
| My guardian next and mother deified | A |
| Who lit within me a more subtle flame | B |
| Of constancy and clothed me in her mood | C |
| No sound no voice within that sanctuary | D |
| Told me of common evil Unsubdued | C |
| And vast and strange a thing from which to flee | D |
| The world lay there without us We within | E |
| Fenced in and folded safe in our strong home | F |
| Knew nothing of the sorrow and the sin | E |
| 'Tis no small matter to have lived in Rome | F |
| In the Church's very bosom and abode | C |
| Cloistered and cradled there a child of God | C |
