Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part I. - Xi - Saxon Conquest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEEDEF| Nor wants the cause the panic striking aid | A |
| Of hallelujahs tost from hill to hill | B |
| For instant victory But Heaven's high will | B |
| Permits a second and a darker shade | A |
| Of Pagan night Afflicted and dismayed | A |
| The Relics of the sword flee to the mountains | C |
| O wretched Land whose tears have flowed like fountains | C |
| Whose arts and honours in the dust are laid | A |
| By men yet scarcely conscious of a care | D |
| For other monuments than those of Earth | E |
| Who as the fields and woods have given them birth | E |
| Will build their savage fortunes only there | D |
| Content if foss and barrow and the girth | E |
| Of long drawn rampart witness what they were | F |
