Love's Saint Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEGHH| Some lip will use her name a rapt surprise | A |
| Passing the heart's set ward upon me steals | B |
| One word to me doth one saint canonize | A |
| And all the acquest of earth and heaven it seals | B |
| I name that name and doubt for me has ending | C |
| And Sorrow strong of old forgets her part | D |
| The battle cry it is to God ascending | C |
| For all the triumphs of my labouring heart | D |
| Ah what is beauty's charge what true what dearest | E |
| But that one lovely word will speak it home | F |
| To splendour to humility 'tis nearest | E |
| And the last depths of longing it can plumb | G |
| The plaudit of all joy all good it bears | H |
| I breathe it and a breath completes my prayers | H |
