The Legend Of St Cecilia And The Angel Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCDDEFGHIJIJKLKL| 'Twas when O meekest eve thy shadows dim | A |
| Were slowly stealing round | B |
| With more impassioned sound | B |
| Divine Cecilia sang her vesper hymn | A |
| And swelled the solemn chord | C |
| In hallelujahs to thy name O Lord | C |
| And now I see her raise | D |
| Rapt adoration's gaze | D |
| With lips just opening and with humid eyes | E |
| Uplifted whilst the strain | F |
| Now sinks now swells again | G |
| Now rising seems to blend with heaven's own harmonies | H |
| But who is that divinely fair | I |
| With more than mortal beauty in his mien | J |
| With eyes of heavenly hue and glistening hair | I |
| His white and ample wings half seen | J |
| O radiant and immortal guest | K |
| Why hast thou left thy seraph throng | L |
| On earth the triumph to attest | K |
| Of Beauty Piety and Song | L |
