Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part I. - Iv - Druidical Excommunication Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADBCAEFEGFG| Mercy and Love have met thee on thy road | A |
| Thou wretched Outcast from the gift of fire | B |
| And food cut off by sacerdotal ire | C |
| From every sympathy that Man bestowed | A |
| Yet shall it claim our reverence that to God | D |
| Ancient of days that to the eternal Sire | B |
| These jealous Ministers of law aspire | C |
| As to the one sole fount whence wisdom flowed | A |
| Justice and order Tremblingly escaped | E |
| As if with prescience of the coming storm | F |
| 'That' intimation when the stars were shaped | E |
| And still 'mid yon thick woods the primal truth | G |
| Glimmers through many a superstitious form | F |
| That fills the Soul with unavailing ruth | G |
