Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part I. - Xiv - Glad Tidings Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCDEFC| For ever hallowed be this morning fair | A |
| Blest be the unconscious shore on which ye tread | B |
| And blest the silver Cross which ye instead | B |
| Of martial banner in procession bear | A |
| The Cross preceding Him who floats in air | A |
| The pictured Saviour By Augustin led | B |
| They come and onward travel without dread | B |
| Chanting in barbarous ears a tuneful prayer | A |
| Sung for themselves and those whom they would free | C |
| Rich conquest waits them the tempestuous sea | C |
| Of Ignorance that ran so rough and high | D |
| And heeded not the voice of clashing swords | E |
| These good men humble by a few bare words | F |
| And calm with fear of God's divinity | C |
