The Court Of Penance Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBA DEFGHI| Behold the Court of Penance Four gaunt walls | A |
| Shutting out all things but the upper heaven | B |
| Stone flags for floor where daily from their stalls | A |
| The human cattle in a circle driven | B |
| Tread down their pathway to a mire uneven | B |
| Pale faced sad eyed and mute as funerals | C |
| Woe to the wretch whose weakness unforgiven | B |
| Falters a moment in the track or falls | A |
| - | |
| Yet is there consolation Overhead | D |
| The pigeons build and the loud jackdaws talk | E |
| And once in the wind's eye like a ship moored | F |
| A sea gull flew and I was comforted | G |
| Even here the heavens declare thy glory Lord | H |
| And the free firmament thy handiwork | I |
