Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part I. - V - Uncertainty Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBCDBDCCB| Darkness surrounds us seeking we are lost | A |
| On Snowdon's wilds amid Brigantian coves | B |
| Or where the solitary shepherd roves | B |
| Along the plain of Sarum by the ghost | C |
| Of Time and shadows of Tradition crost | C |
| And where the boatman of the Western Isles | B |
| Slackens his course to mark those holy piles | B |
| Which yet survive on bleak Iona's coast | C |
| Nor these nor monuments of eldest name | D |
| Nor Taliesin's unforgotten lays | B |
| Nor characters of Greek or Roman fame | D |
| To an unquestionable Source have led | C |
| Enough if eyes that sought the fountainhead | C |
| In vain upon the growing Rill may gaze | B |
