Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part I. - Xvii - Conversion Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEFFED| Prompt transformation works the novel Lore | A |
| The Council closed the Priest in full career | B |
| Rides forth an armed man and hurls a spear | B |
| To desecrate the Fane which heretofore | A |
| He served in folly Woden falls and Thor | A |
| Is overturned the mace in battle heaved | C |
| So might they dream till victory was achieved | C |
| Drops and the God himself is seen no more | A |
| Temple and Altar sink to hide their shame | D |
| Amid oblivious weeds O come to me | E |
| Ye heavy laden such the inviting voice | F |
| Heard near fresh streams and thousands who rejoice | F |
| In the new Rite the pledge of sanctity | E |
| Shall by regenerate life the promise claim | D |
