Holy Thursday Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CDEF GHIJ'Twas on a Holy Thursday their innocent faces clean | A |
Came children walking two and two in read and blue and green | A |
Grey headed beadles walked before with wands as white as snow | B |
Till into the high dome of Paul's they like Thames waters flow | B |
- | |
Oh 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 and girls raising their innocent hands | F |
- | |
Now like a mighty wild they raise to heaven the voice of song | G |
Or like harmonious thunderings the seats of heaven among | H |
Beneath them sit the aged man wise guardians of the poor | I |
Then cherish pity lest you drive an angel from your door | J |
