Holy Thursday (innocence) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CDEF GHIJ| Twas on a Holy Thursday their innocent faces clean | A |
| The children walking two amp two in red amp blue amp green | A |
| Grey headed beadles walked before with wands as white as snow | B |
| Till into the high dome of Pauls they like Thames waters flow | B |
| - | |
| O what a multitude they seemed these flowers of London town | C |
| Seated in companies they sit with radiance all their own | D |
| The hum of multitudes was there but multitudes of lambs | E |
| Thousands of little boys amp girls raising their innocent hands | F |
| - | |
| Now like a mighty wind they raise to heaven the voice of song | G |
| Or like harmonious thunderings the seats of heaven among | H |
| Beneath them sit the aged men wise guardians of the poor | I |
| Then cherish pity lest you drive an angel from your door | J |
